Some senseless babbling from Linda Proulx to All
on 11-05-99  10:15 about Win9XX Question...

 LP> Greetings,

 LP> Once I set up my Warp & have multiboot with it & DOS, how would I load
 LP> Win9XX on it & multiboot. That is if I ever decide to use it.

 LP> Just asking. 

Win95 is basically Win 3.x, with the only primary difference that you can
install the bulk of its data on a drive other than C:.  It does, however,
still require drive C: to boot from (even Windows NT does).  So, to install
Win95 (or WinNT), you'll need to give up DOS, since it'll overwrite it when
installing.

The only way to avoid that is to use a third-party program like System
Commander, which does a juggling act with the boot files of the operating
systems it supports.  It allows you to install any number of OS's on the
same partition, and choose which to boot at startup.
