My son ha s taken a job up in Ottawa Ont. We initially played around with
Win 3.1 and an version 3.03 of RH and although it was a bit of an adventure
we finally managed to co-locate both operating systems on one hard drive.
LILO worked very well permitting the desired OS take control of the
hardware. Since then my son has devoted a separate computer to Linux RH 6.0.
Most of his programming applications / compilers are on his Win 95 based
machine which I will be sending up to hime this week. I intend to remove the
hard drive from his Linux system and install it in the WIN95 system as a D:
drive and reinstall RH 6.0.

 My questions are:

1. Has anyone install RH 6.0 on a WIN 95 based system where WIN is located
on C: drive and Linux is installed on D: drive?

2. Will Win 95 permit the installation of LILO so that either OS can boot?

3. Are there any known problems that arise from such an installation ( such
as detection of entries in the MBR as a suspected virus contamination)?


I would appreciate any advise at all. Unfortunately the manual does not
include the set up for such a configuration.


Thank You in advance
