My son has 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 Wally Szumilak szumilak@psphalifax.ns.ca
