I dunno about documents, although I believe there are some in the LDP,
but why do you need any?
Make a dos partition with dos fdisk of the size you want for win 95,
install it. It should be the first partition on the c drive, that's the
best method I've used.
Then load linux, and with it's fdisk, partition whatever space you want
for linux, install that, and when you install lilo, install to mbr of
hda, and tell lilo which os you want to load by default.
Win95 does not use any fancy disk formatting or anything out of the
ordinary dos realm. This partitioning is no different than older
methods. The only concerns are when you are doubling up with NT and have
NTFS partitions.
