I like to put Linux on my drive with 98/XP. With having 3 seperate partitions, I dont see a problem. How can I make
bat file to toggle to all 3 systems.
 
Install 98, then XP, then Linux. During the Linux installation, it will ask if you want to install GRUB or LILO and where you want to put it. These are your bootloaders that will give you a menu when you boot the computer that allows you to boot into one of the three OS's. You can install either one, but tell it to install into the MBR, which will overwrite XP's bootloader (NTLDR).
