if u install lilo in the first 1024 sectors of your hard disk then it
shouldnt be a problem at all. u might have to reorganize your HD with
partition magic or similar software to get your linux partition into the
first 1024 sectors.

boot?
whenever u update an OS like win98 or NT or Linux it creates a new MBR
(master boot record) what u can do is  save your old MBR and restore it
after installing the new OS.

from my point of view this is a very bad idea. why do u try to change your
MBR settings when u run NT or win98 ?
