Hello:

Well we are on the sides. First you have to reformat your entire hard disk, for application to run smoothly the OS. Then you must create partitions 4, 3 of them equal in size (I say) and another for SWAP linux. Then simply installed os on each partition and the 98 Xp, and when you arrive at linux ) Assigns the SWAP

If I have not explained or if you need something more post it again and I'll help you

Greetings!

Good

Only one more point, the SWAP should be about the size 1.5 x your RAM.

Thank you for your reply .. I experimented in the windows but not on Linux, that is why the questions ....
The Linux install I think that has version 7 ..
For that are the four partitions and that of the same size?
One for another 98 to XP, I imagine that the third is for that but for the fourth partition ..... say that the swap should be 1.5 to ram and if that's going to increase or decrease the ram after making the wsap
If the order is 98 and xp linux, what boot options should i submit with which I want to boot?
