Double boot help needed, LILO/loadlin confusion
Hi,
I need some help with making my machnie double boot. The other OS is
Win95. I still boot from a floppy :-(
The Linux+Win95 mini howto says:
> _5.1.2.1 I have this brand new box that I got from (unamed
> chain/retail store)_
>

Aha, since I have fat32 I shouldn't use LILO.
And the Loadlin+Win95 mini howto says:
> NOTE: If you have Windows 95 OSR2, and are using a FAT32 file system,
> then the dual booting methods in this mini-HOWTO will not work and
> should not be attempted.
Aha, since I have OSR2 I shouldn't try loadlin.
What shall I do, neither LILO nor loadlin???
My HD looks like this:
