I had WinNT 4.0 Server, Win95, DOS, and RH 3.0.3 all running on the same
machine. If you do it in this order you can have everything run off the LILO:
1) Install DOS
2) Install Win95 (this will give you the F8 screen if needed - thus DOS load)
3) Install WinNT (this will install NT's boot loader, which has the dos option
which will run Win95 if selected, then hitting F8 will load DOS)
4) Install Linux (this will install the LILO, which if you type 'dos' it will
load the NT boot menu, etc.)
Works VERY nicely.. enjoy.
