Another solution is not to use lilo but use Loadlin...I found lilo is 
annoying cos it just sit there when u boot up and wait for  you to type 
something ... 

anyway the way to do it is..boot your windows 95 straight to DOS  ..and 
 use DOS muti-config to do it..
one menu item for Win95 and one menu item for Linux (use loadlin) and add 
as many option for dos as you want..

How the hell do u boot windows95 straight to DOS u may ask?
Well here is how 

There is a file called msdos.sys reside on C:\ .. it's hidden ..so
get out your xtgold or attrib or whatever to view it and edit it

where it has option

BootGUI or something close to it..change the value 1 to 0 and voola 
windows 95 will boot right to dos when u load it and only load windows 95 
if you type in win  (like the win 3.11 stuff)

Cheers
