I have Linux and Win95 on the same 1.6GB WD EIDE hard drive (500MB for
Win95 and rest for Linux :) and they are happily coexisting just fine
thanks to LILO. I did fresh installation of RH 3.0.3 on it several
times trying various partitioning schemes (sometime recklessly). No
bad things happened.  I use Partition Magic to steal disk space for
Linux from Win95 partition (C drive).
