Very Computer

I have a PC with win95 and 2 HD's.
Now I want to run Linux on one of them and have the possibility to
choose OS when starting the PC.

Any suggestions????

WHen building lilo from setup, choose the OS you use most of the time
first - then if you don't intervene, it will boot the default. You can
always change the order later - using vi on the /etc/lilo.conf file.

You put the program and kernel image in a DOS directory and execute a
batch file (set to run in DOS mode) similar to the following:

"C:\LOADLINX\LOADLIN C:\LOADLINX\ZIMAGE root=/dev/hda2 ro"

(/dev/hda2 is my Linux partition)

The PC then reboots into Linux.  When I'm finished with Linux, I
reboot and Win95 starts back up.

BTW- Does anyone know if LOADLIN works with Red Hat?

I am doing the same thing, I know you can use a BootManager (Pretty much
every os has one) I am going to use LILO which comes with your
particular Linux and offers to install it for you.  I know Dos (Win95
too) won't allow you to boot a partition unless it is on the first HD, I
think the LILO will let you...
