Sure you can use 95, 98, NT or whatever you would like simultaneously.
I found the best way is to make a small partition (set it active) say
2 megs in size and put lilo there.  (That way nothing overwrites it)
Put 95 in it's own partition, 98 in it's own, NT etc.  and add then in
your lilo.conf (Read up on this before you do it and back this
configuration file up!)  Then run lilo to update the boot loader and
you're laughing.  Windows 98 will recognise Windows 95, but Windows 95
will not recognise the Windows 98 partition if you formatted it using
FAT-32 and are running Windows 95-A or previous.  (Build 4.0.950 or
earlier.)
