This should work fine for you, if you have recompiled your kernel in the
past (I'll asume you have as you only use linux right now =).
Put a fresh floppy in /dev/fd0
cd /usr/src/linux
make zdisk
reboot and test that disk out.
If it lets you in, go right ahead and install win95. After it's done and it
wipes your MBR, reboot with the linux disk and rerun /sbin/lilo but make
sure there is an other= field in /etc/lilo.conf The lilo-howto has an example.
OK, so that would work for most people. But your using the os/2
bootmanager......Where did you install lilo to when you installed linux,
surely not your MBR? Most likely you installed it on your linux partition's
MBR.....So, What you actually need to understand is how os/2's bootmanager
will respond to you doing this.
That I have no idea.
Hope some of this babble helps.
