The way it's setup, your machine looks first at your floppy drive for a disk
formatted with a bootsector, and then to a special address on your C drive.
If you want to boot into Linux but keep win95 as your default (BIOS has C
set as default, I don't know if you can change it, probably can), then you
just need a bootdisk which you'd put in at startup to override the boot
instructions on your C drive. Otherwise, I'm not sure what you'd do except
change your bootdrive in your BIOS, or MAYBE you could do something to the
bootsector on your C drive (if you know what you're doing, otherwise I
wouldn't mess with that, hehe).

I recently tried just that. I have a box that can boot to Linux or it can boot
to Win 95. The box was working great but I got a hold of NT server. Well being
the curious type that I am I decided to attempt to put NT server on my Linux
box. Toward the the end of the first stage install of NT I told me that it found
errors on my hard drive and I needed to reboot. It wiped out all my Linux file
systems and LILO (nice hugh). It also messed up the partition table so bad that
it took me 5 hours to fix it.
Can it be done?
Yes I think it can. If NT is on your machine first and you use the NTLDR to
boot. If any one has been able to do it email me and tell me how.
