I have just bought myself a 4.3 GB hard drive and I am about to set up
partitions and start installing my OSs.
I was thinking to setup Win95 first and then NT, so NT sees '95 and offer's
dual boot.  Then I was thinking to install Red Hat on its own partition.
However, ther are several issues I'm not sure about:

- Will Lilo automatically offer dual boot??
- Does Linux have to be on my boot partition?
- Can I make my boot partition NTFS and still have Linux and Win95 boot?

Below is an explanation of how I am planning to layout my HD:

Partition 1 (Boot):
- 1.2GB
- NTFS
- Stores NT Srv & WKST

Partition 2:
- 1.2GB
- NTFS
- Application storage

Partition 3:
- 1.1GB
- Fat16
- Stores Win95 and Dos 6.22

Partition 4:
- 800MB
- LS OS
- Stores Linux

If anyone sees a problem with this layout please tell me.  Any help is
greatly appreciated. Thank you.
