Re: INSTALL:dual-boot
The only thing Win95 did to my machine was replace the MBR. I had to boot
from floppy and re-run lilo. Everything was fine after that.
Note:
Win95 will replace any boot manager. I had os/2 on using a boot
manager when I first got Win95 a few years ago and it did the same to it.
Microslut wants controle!
