This is a "physical" solution. In computer world, I think it's not that
quite cool.

Well, you could install NT onto of Win95. Meaning that you install in the
same partition of Winp5 but it gets confusing later on as you might have to
install software for both NT and 95. If you want trully NT and Linux. Kill
the 95 partion and install NT first on the first partition and Linux next.

BOOTPART does work. I used it about 2 months ago while contemplating how to
have on demand boot to handle the different OSes that I toy with.
I have WinNT, Win95, DOS 6.22, and LINUX 2.0.29 available. Still having problems
in my attempts to add Caldera OpenDos.
I let NT40 handle the MBR here. Duri

Hi,
There is an HOWTO about this topic, which I used to set up my
system. I seem to remember I had captaliztion problems editing the
boot.ini file, but I don't remember the details. You should find
this and related HOWTO's on http://www.sunsite.unc.edu/, or
something.

There is a way the NT bootloader will work with booting up Linux
and NT. First you install NT, whatever you want NTFS or FAT16, then
install Linux. When you install Linux do not tell Linux to boot up
using Lilo. Instead bot of a disk. There is a program called bootpart
that will allwo you to boot L
Try this site for information on how to do this:

There are also commercial utilities like System Commander.
