discussion of Dual booting with Linux, NT Srv, WKST, and Win95

You can do this, but there is a catch:  To use LILO, LILO _must_ reside
on the MBR (dunno if Red Hat gives the option of putting it in the
extended partition), which means it's prone to being trashed when Disk
Administrator writes its signature (been there, done that :) ).  The
only way around this problem is to have the Linux kernel on the Win 95
partition and use loadlin to start Linux from a Win 95 command prompt
boot.

.. Do what you will with this tagline, just don't bother me about it!
