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..

Thanks in > advance, This is possible, when you first start up.
