I want to explain you my own experience what I do is I install win98 or
whatever and after that I install Partition Magik and you and you have to
configure all the spaqce needed to linux like unformatted ok??
After that, you run the linux installer and configure the linux partition
with the defaults programs of the cd.

That's is what I do I expect help you

Good luck
