AFAIK the rules are something like DOS (+Windows 9x/ME) must be on a primary
parition.
<br>So that means you can have 4 DOS typ installations (Win9x,MSDOS 6.0,DR-DOS
and PC-DOS). EEEK !
<br>Linux, BSD, OS/2, WinNT/2000 and a whole load of others can also be
booted from an extended partition,
<br>doing this requires some kind of boot manager though (lilo,grub,etc.)
<p>So if you have enough disk space you can ask your self "which OS do
I want go today" (or something like that).
