Do you have any space on the master disk to make a tiny FAT partition? If so, just put some sort of dos on it and look at the Linux+NT+win95 howto (or something like that), set boot=/win95/bootsect.lnx in /etc/lilo.conf (as someone who's name I forgot on the list previously mentioned, neat trick). If you don't have any space but a swap partition, you might just convert the swap partition and setup a swap file instead. -- Rafael Kitover rkitover@io.com
