SO...GPL Doesn't work.
I'm not buying TOCA 2 (Because I phoned Codemasters, and they say it doesn't
work in NT)
Anyone know what decent Driving Games / Sims (I find it hard to draw the
line, afterall, it's always just for fun....) that DO run under NT.
F1, Rally, ANY DAMN THING. Come on, I need to play something...
AMD K6^2 300
128mb Ram
Quantum Raven Voodoo Banshee (16 mb)

You'd have to create two partitions, install 95/98 first, than NT. You
could then play all the games, plus have the stability and performance for
your work programs.

my suggestion is different:
-create one partition with the size for nt.
-install nt
-use the drive manager to create another primary partition
(nt allows the creation, w95/98 will use it)
-mark the 2nd primary partition as active
-reboot and install 95/98 on the 2nd primary partition
the only drawback is, that you have to use fdisk(98/98)
and the nt drive manager to switch between the primary
partitions. (a boot manager may fix this).
only if nt & 95/98 are on different partitions you can use ntfs
for nt and/or have "real" stability.

Having said that, I've a feeling that Win95/98 knows about NT, and might
put itself in the boot menu on an NT box anyways.
Unless somebody can come up with a definitive answer, the best bet might
be to take a backup, and then just try it.
Hope this helps.

Starting with a clean hard drive, boot from the NT CDROM (yes, it's
bootable) then create a 4 Gig or smaller partition on the drive to hold
NT. You can't install NT to any partition or volume larger than 4 Gig,
so start there. Once NT is installed and working, you can if you like
increase the size of its partition using Partition Magic.
Boot with the 98 boot floppy and create a primary partition and install
98 to it. Once that's done, the machine will always boot to 98, until...
...you download the Ranish Partition manager utility from the following
URL:
http://www.lester.co.uk/ranish/part/
You'll find a nifty boot menu that allows you to boot from either
partition. Best of all, it installs in the boot record, and doesn't need
a partition of its own.

also, as for downloading a file to make any OS the boot os that is
uneccesary also.
When NT is installed a file (boot.ini) is created and editing this will
choose which OS is the boot OS.
The help files are pretty good about this

Absolutely, but I find it a LOT easier to choose the boot OS with a
single keystroke at boot time than to edit a file every time I want to
change it...
Your mileage may vary...
