You can MOVE & RESIZE partitions, and make
EXTENDED partitions, which you can then subdivide
into LOGICAL partitions.

Well my problems are :
1 ) How should i make the partitions in order to give 14Giga for win98 (now
is 20 giga in one partition) and 6Giga for linux : the main problem is that
the win98 partition exists already and i don't want to del and repartition
but instead I use partition magic , but when i try to create the linux
partition i get 7giga win98, 6giga linux (so to be in the 1024 cylinder
limit) and finally 7giga unallocated.
2) why should i use lilo if i already have bootmagic , and how can i bypass
lilo installation.
thanks again
Tassos
