Re installing Windows 2000 together with Linus (or getting any 
combination of operating systems to coexist):

How feasible is it to get Windows 2000, and/or Linux, and/or anything 
else, to boot from CD?

The solution then becomes: set up the hard disc to boot into your 
main operating system. Make a bootable CDR with the other opsys. Set 
the BIOS to boot from CD-ROM, if present, else hard disc. Insert the 
CDR before booting if required.

If the operating system must _write_ to the boot disc, you could try a 
removable hard disc.

Best wishes,
