one word of caution... make sure you install lilo to /dev/hda not /dev/hda1
hda refers to the MBR, and hda1 refers to the PBR (partition boot record)
which is where windows keeps it's loader. If you install to hda1... windows will
die a tragic silent death...

See other followups regarding LILO -- you'll have to use some sort of
linux loader, though
Just reread your note: Win 95 on a 16 Gig partition? I think you
may need to put the Linux boot image on /dev/hda1 for this to work
but others may know better.

Diplomacy is the art of saying "nice doggy" until you can find a rock.
You can run /usr/sbin/liloconfig to set up lilo.

Assuming Win95 is on /dev/hda1, add the following lines to
/etc/lilo.conf:
I have win 95 in the first partition (16 GB) and I want
to install Linux in the second partition... how I can boot Linux from this
partition?!?
Thank You
