at least triple boot

Works for me, I'm using Debian 2.2r2, with the MBR tool, so even if lilo
doesn't work, I know for SURE that MBR does.

(You hold in shift when you see MBR, then press A to get a list of
partititions,
press the number of the partition you'd like to boot and voila!)

Would that really fix it, though? I configured lilo during the install
process to boot both linux and windows, but I don't even get a lilo prompt
at boot time...

Start linux with a rescue disk (chroot, etc.), add your windows 2000
configuration to lilo.conf, and re-run lilo.

As a complement to Mike's original question, I would also like to ask if
anyone has had any problems putting together a dual-boot configuration when
the MS OS in question is Windows 2000. I've been trying to put TurboLinux on
my laptop all weekend, but after I install it I only get Windows
automatically booting.

Thanks(and sorry Mike for stepping on top of you :) )

I have a case where I have to outfit my sales
team with the abilty to boot from at least
three of MS's current windows OS's.

It has been a looooooong time since I have done
a dual boot (I use vmware, which will not work in this case),
and was wondering if a small linux distro and allowing
lilo to handle this would work.

Any suggestions?
