Hi! I had brought a new computer with Win95 loaded on it. I would like
to load linux on one of the partitions and Ihad heard people say that I
could have both and that the computer will ask me at the time of booting
which os I want. I would appreciate of any one could write to me as to
how I should go about loading the Linux and the other software that I
will be needing for it to work the way i want it to.

Thanking you,
Yours sincerely,
Shan.

it's slightly complicated. there should be plenty of documentation on
the distribution that you have: slackware, or red-hat, etc.
basically,
1) backup win95
2) run fdisk and create a smaller partition for win95, and set aside
the rest for linux
3) put back win95
4) create boot/root disks
5) install the boot disk and restart

that'll get you started.
