Thanks for the reply

I'm not sure of the technologyor how to do it, but is this how it's done?
Primary Master:
            main partition1: LILO
            main partition2: WIN95
Secondary Master:
            main partition1: Linux (EX2)
            another partition: fat32

when you said: "don't lump the whole filesystem into one partition" did you
mean to make more partitions from the Linux one?
What is the reason for this?

PS: Do you know of any good documentation for a beginner explaining this?
Thankyou for your time
