Yes.
Put Windows 98 on first, then Windows 2000 then Lunux.
As an alternative, you might consider having JUST Windows 2000 on your computer and running either vmware (www.vmware.com) or virtualpc (www.connectix.com) and run the additional OSs in a virtual machine. This is what I do - I have my laptop (and two desktops) running XP and run other OSs in VMs.

yes there is. I have it at home actually. you'll need to install each O/S a different partition. First, create one partition and install Win 98. After, install Win 2000 and create a second partition during the first part of the installation. Make Sure you leave enough room for linux!. AFter that, you can install linux. Now, in my case, i had to create a small partition for the swap file that linux needs to install. About 500 MB is enough. Use the rest of the free space to install linux, and there you go.
the LILO boot menu in linux will show 'windows' as one of the choices. When you choose that, then you'll see the Boot menu from win 2000, which will show you 'windows 98' and 'windows 2000'.
hope that helps,

Yes, there are several ways to go about this...using Lilo or Grub for example.
Here is a pretty good step-by-step example of exactly what you are wanting to do:

hi
of course,
first make a single partition for ur windows 98. and install win98 on this.
then from the win98 os run the setup on ur win2k cd, select to make partition out of the free unpartioned space on the drive (use only the space u want for win2k and leave the remainning space).
install linux last, during the installation, choose to install linux in the remaining unpartitioned space . this would be made a linux partition, u can install everything on this partition or further partition this space for the swap,root,home etc. make sure you install lilo(linux loader) into the mbr this is the diffalt.
good luck
