Yeah, works like a dream.
Got a laptop with a 2G hard drive with WIN95 installed.
Was looking forward to blowing away the win95 to re-partition thedrive
but
lo and behold the supplied partition modifier worked like a dream and
removed 1 G from the back of the WIN95 partition for linux. Neat.
Now got dual boot witl LILO for linux or WIN95.
