Hi Shadow,


> Can a hard drive be partitioned to do this, running Win95 on one side > an Linux on the other?

I recently,three days ago, installed Red Hat (InfoMagic April 1997 ed)
onto my PC for the firsrt time.  I had Windows 95 on one
partition(2.0Gb) and Linux(1Gb) on the other.  It is not that hard to
install.   But I had problems when I first installed, because the
version of window 95 was using FAT 32 instead of FAT 16.  I also had
problems with partitioning the hard drive.  Last night, I removed Linux
because I had a swap file of 100Mb and 500Mb for applications, operating
system,etc.  I hope to have it installed again soon. 

It is a good idea to get as much information as you can on installing
linux.  Good starting point is www.redhat.com.  

I hope you have better luck..

Regards,

Alex

This is possible, when you first start up.
