And on a side not, recovering a linux install after installing WindowsXP isn't really that hard. You need to boot from, say, an install CD (Knoppix is good too) in rescue mode. Mount your root partition somewhere and chroot to it. fix up your lilo.conf as needed, then run lilo. It's a 10 minute job.

So, while installing WindowsXP before Linux does makes things easier, it isn't absolutely necessary.
