Andrew O'Rorke was overheard saying to WinVN 0.99.7: 
 
>I installed Win95 on /dev/hda1 and Linux on /dev/hdb1 and use Lilo to choose 
>which to boot, and it works fine.  I installed Lilo into the MBR of /dev/hda1 
>and have had no problems at all.

One thing to watch out for though - if you install Windows95 after
Linux, you'll have to boot Linux from a floppy and re-run lilo
(Windows95 overwrites the MBR when it is installed).

However - I suspect Martyn meant dual boot in the OS/2 sense
(both operating systems sharing a single partition).  That seems
to work OK if you use the umsdos filesystem for Linux - I tried
it briefly before I added an extra drive - it is a bit slower
than ext2fs, though.
