Dual Boot Win98SE/Mandrake Linux

OK,

I've almost got all of my parts together, and am ready to get the OS's onto the hard drive before I install everything into the I-Opener.

I'd like to dual boot Win98SE and Mandrake Linux. I've seen plenty of messages about how to install Win98, but nothing about linux, or a dual boot. I'm guessing that it's going to be tought without a floppy or cd rom.

I'm taking a wild stab at the following:

1) Install my HD into the pc.
2) Partition the hard drive into two partitions (1 for win98, 1 for linux)
3) Boot with floppy, and copy the win98 folder from the cd to the fat32 partition along with the network drivers for the wireless card.
4) What about Linux? Can I copy it to the hard drive and install it from the I-Opener like win98? Anybody have any ideas?

Thanks,

Newb2003
