Yes, Linux will run with K6.

Linux will be able to mount Dos/Windows95 partition and copy files between Linux
and Dos/Win95 partition. This is a dual boot situation. But you can not have both
run at the same time. Linux does not work with FAT32. Check Linux Document
Project HOWTO under www.linux.org to find how to do that.

Yes. First install Dos/Win95 and then install Linux. Linux will take care of dual
boot. You will be asked whether you want to dual boot.

Check www.linux.org or Barnes & Noble store. The other day I see a book providing
complete info for OpenLinux. But any Linux book will be helpful.
