1. install DOS and Win95 onto your drive C:. BTW, you should 
   also use FAT32 that is more efficient for this 1.2GB drive.
   If you have to use FAT, then you should partition it into
   maybe two logical drives.

2. partition drive D: into a small parition as linux swap (maybe
   20Mb) and the rest as the linux partition. Install linux and
   lilo onto that large partition. All these can be done with
   redhat's setup program.

3. use fdisk (under DOS or linux) to set the linux partition
   as active.

disclamer: do it at your own risk!
