If your installation is complete you start Win95, go to DOS-MODE (NOT
DOS BOX!) and start linux with:
linux hdb1    (<-- 1st Part. on Prim. Slave)

It should work this way.

Can anybody tell me where to find info on how to install Linux onto a
brand new clean second drive.  Of course I want to be able to boot up
the Linux system from this second drive which is set up as a slave
drive.  I'm running windows 95.  Thanks for the help.

Not a problem, this is what I did. I have two 1.6gig hardrives, the second
is dedicated to Red Hat 4.2. I loaded all the rpms onto the first drive,
and when I started the installation program, Red Hat found them, no
problem. It then installed them onto the second drive. At the end of the
installation, Red Hat installed lilo, a boot toggeler. When I turn on my
computer I get the following prompt:

lilo:

If I do nothing, it waits 3 seconds, then boots into win95. If I type
"linux", I boot into Red Hat. Both OSs are happy as a clam. Since win95
can't read Red Hat's ext2f file system, it is completely clueless as to the
existence of another OS.
