Sometimes. 98 is worse than 95. Leave a FAT32 partition around for
Windoze to find and it should be happy to install on that without
destroying all else -- but keep a boot-disk handy so you can re-run LILO
after Win9X stomps the bootblock. Oh, and _don't_ install Win9X if the
disk contains anything precious to you. )-:
