Since my employer is building Windoze apps, and I'm taking Windoze
programming courses (barf), I'm thinking of installing the dog(!)gone
thing on a spare partition of my Linux box (so I can then install VC++
to do my homework). But the only "spare" partitions are all extended
partitions. Is it possible to install (and boot to) Windoze 95 on an
extended partition (either using LILO or some other reasonable method),
or does Windoze insist on being a primary partition?

Also, what kernel version should I have to be able to access FAT32
partitions?

Thanks!

Fred
