Hello world

I had previously been using windows 3.1 and had a UMDOS linux file
system on the same drive and booted from a floppy whenever I wanted to
access linux. I have just upgraded my system and have a 2.1 GB disk,
half of which is taken up with a number of partitions running windows
95. I want to create a 300 MB linux partition and install LILO so I can
boot up either linux or windows 95 without using a floppy. Is this
possible with windows 95, and if so, is it a safe option? (I have
Slackware 3.0)

Thanks
