RE: Linux on top of win95
If you have NT, you can use a utility such as "bootpart" to add a line
to the boot.ini which lets you boot to linux from the NT boot loader. I
would suggest using a sperate partion or drive for Linux, you'll need
one for swap anyway. I have win95, 2 versions of NT (workstaion 4 and
server 5), and Linux all booting from the NT loader.
