Hey, that's a good trick! How did you do it? The mini-FAQ warns against
it and it was confirmed by my own experience. What I did was install
Win95 in a partition in which dos had been installed (with Linux on
the rest of the disk). I believe Win95 wrote over the boot sector
and prevented me from getting to my Linux partition at all. I don't
know what would happen if you installed Win95 first and then installed
Linux in the other partition.
