Yes you can. At least I instaled Win2k + Win98 and Linux (red heat 6.0) tonight and all three systems work just fine (of the single HD)

Yes, it's working like a charm.
Check www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/mini/Linux+NT-Loader.html for the details.
Here it is Win2000 RC1 and Caldera OpenLinux 2.3

Yes and No. I installed Win98 then Win2k so here the Win2k bootmanager is used. Then I used Partition Magic to make partitions for Linux. Then I just installed Linux. So now when the system starts it brings up the LILO
bootmanager I can select Linux or dos if I select DOS it brings up the Win2k bootmanages to select Win2k or Win98. Maybe it is not the best way to do it but it works and that is all I care ;-)
