I'm a Linux Newbie myself, but If I'm not mistaken, You can't install LILO
on a FAT32 partition. A good majority of people are formatting their drives
(for the simple reason that hard disks are usually >4gigs nowadays) into one
big FAT32 partition for convenience, and it actually saves quite a bit of
disk space over FAT16 with the file cluster size issue... Anyways,
if you'd like to use LILO to dual boot between Win9x/Linux, you must have
the boot device be a FAT16 drive. Or you could use Norton's System
commander to boot between operating systems...
Or if you BIOS supports, you can just tell it to boot from Hard Disk 1
instead of Hard Disk 0.
OR (what I did) you can acquire a copy of NT 5 beta 2 (windows2000) and
start the install, but cancel it after it does a reboot. That will leave a
copy of NT's Boot Loader installed on your boot drive. Then you can
configure it to run whatever the H you want :-)
Wow, usually I just lurk. Now look at what you made me do.

Read about LILO. This is the linux loader, and it will boot both win95,
and Linux, or other operating systems also. You need to install Lilo if
you haven't already to create a dual boot system...
