Pardon me but i can't find a good instruction on how to create a
triple-booting system. Can you instruct me?

I wanted to install three OSs on my brand new hard drive. The size is
only 40 GB. I wish to install the following OSs:
1. Win XP Pro,
2. Win 98SE, and
3. Linux (either Red Hat 7.x or Mandrake 8.x)

I also want the Win XP and Win 98SE to be able to share files between
them. Most of the programs/applications that I will use will be run
under windows.
I'll be using Linux just for educational purposes.

What should I do first? Which OS will I install first?
What file system will I use?
How will I do the disk partitioning? How much will I allot for each
partition?

Thank you so much!

You're a gift to Google Groups! =)
