I need to partition a 20 GB harddrive for Win98, Linux (Slackware) and 
NetBSD. I also want to leave a partition open for testing different Linux 
distros. My needs are: 

Win98: 2 GB
/swap: 512 MB
Slackware: 5 GB for / (/home is on hdb1)
Other Linux: 5 GB
NetBSD: 7.5 GB (all the rest) 

There is a limit of four Primary partitions. Windows and /swap need two 
Primary partitions. I would like a /boot partition; I'm thinking that could 
solve the problem of where to install the bootloader for each distro or O/S. 
Is having a /boot partition a good or bad idea? 

How can I partition this to not go above the four Primary partition limit? 
What can go into an extended partition? 

Thanks for any suggestions.
