At the moment I have WinME and Linux Mandrake.... and I already hate this WinME!
Now I want to install Windows 98SE and SuSE 7. But the problem is, I have no idea what to start with! What will happen if I remove WinME first? Will I be able after that to install 98SE without touching partitions, LILOs and so on??
Thanks!

Actually you should be able to remove WinMe and then just reinstall Win98 ..... as long as you leave the linux partitions alone ... And if Windows is already on the first partition .....

If your bootloader is on the MBR, a new install of Windows will overwrite it. Be sure you make a Linux Boot Disk BEFORE you start on the Windows stuff...
It's a real pain trying to get back to Linux after you do that, I have done this and it is not fun...
OR
Better yet, since you want to re-install Linux also...wipe the drive clean, partition it, install Windows, then Install Linux...

If you have seperate mount points (for /, /home, etc.) you can leave /home alone :) One of the great things about linux ;)
