One thing to keep in mind is that Win95 will wipe the MBR when it
installs, so before putting on Win95, create a linux boot disk (but
everyone does that, don't they???), then after you've got Win95
up and running (or semi-vertical and limping, as the case may
be...) install Lilo and everything will work OK...
