Just install each O/S in order of oldest to newest, and mandrake last.

If you are using that many operating systems, it will probably be a lot better to use a 3rd party boot manager.

Some of your choices are not required. You can have DOS, Win31, and Win95 on the same partition with no interference.
Same with DOS,Win31, and Win98. I have DOS,3.1 capability, and 98 on 1 partition, 2K on the 2nd, and home on the 3rd. Haven't put the 3.1 on since it is available on another system. I use partition magic and the included boot magic. |
