The DOSEMU documentation mentions how to run win3 under dosemu; there's a
Brazilian linux user that wrote a mini-HOWTO (in portuguese...) on running
win95 under DOSEMU, and others reported success (and failure ;-).
The basic trick for win95 is to create a 64Mb swap partition for linux and
configure DOSEMU to report 64Mb of expanded/extended memory to
applications. Then allow full direct access to the HP partition where
win95 lives in. To switch from win95 to another Virtual Console, *first*
open a "dos prompt" under windows and then try CRTL-ALT-Fx ; this probably
has to do with the video mode.
