i was giving a reference for an alternative way to get linux running

I believe that you really should have a swap partion
This is not true. To begin with, you don't need swap space if you have
enough memory. For linux, swap is just an extra bunch of (slow) memory
that can be used if need be. If it is not there, and enough RAM is
available, that is not a

I know Linux can be installed ontop of a dos partition. Can it be
installed on top of Win 95 or NT. I need to know this because although I
run linux at home my office is NT and 95. I would like to be able to boot
to linux in the office in
If you have NT, you can use a utility such as bootpart to add a line
to the boot.ini which lets you boot to linux from the NT boot loader. I
would suggest using a sperate partion or drive for Linux, you'll need
one for swap anyway. I have win95, 2 versions of NT (workstaion 4 and
server 5), and

A separate drive certainly isn't

A simpler way may be to use linload95 - it's a package I downloaded that
allows you to boot Win95, then click an icon and load Linux. I used Alta
Vista to search for Linux Load Win95 and found it on sunsite.unc.edu...
Works well! (And leaves your PC config alone...)
