Yeah, I didn't want to mess around with removing/reinstallibg BootManager too much in case I couldn't get back into Win95 again. What I did was remove the entire Linux partition (containing both the Native and Swap) using Partition Magic and reinstalling Linux. This time I put LILO in the MBR of the drive - it then gives you the option of adding the other partitions, including the BootManager partition in it's (LILO's) 'menu'. This worked fine. So all I have to do at the LINUX LILO boot prompt is type in LINUX or WIN95 or WIN95OFFICE2000. So thanks for the help tips guys........on with LINUX lesson number 2 ... Cheers, I'm holding you to that drink Louis !
