I'll be botting dos as well, but I'd like to put Windows 95 on also. I know, I know. I hate it - I really do - but some things require it so if I can do it, it wouldn't hurt. I've heard that Win95 messes up the MBR, making it diffcult to multi-boot with it. First of all, is this true? And secondly, is there any way to boot Win95 with any other operating system, specifically NetBSD - or Linux.? Thanks a lot, Please respond (or CC) via e-mail incase I don't get a chance to check the group.
