In addition to the other suggestions put samba on the Linux box. What I
did was give 95 a different IP and machine name than Linux on the same
box. This is helpful because when I boot the same machine into Linux, it
has nfs exports that wouldn't be there under 95.
Using samba, I started migrating files to the Linux box. I got to the
point where all I needed for 95 is an old 233mb Maxtor. The primary reason
I have any 95 capability at all is that I get free software for shipping,
ordering, banking, etc. from vendors. One of them was offering free ground
freight on electronic orders, so I would boot 95 and run the software
which dials a toll-free number and order product. One of these days we'll
have a windows emulator that works with these programs and just run them
as a Linux task.
See my LDP mirror at http://www.wtop.com/LDP for latest howto's, including
samba.
