Hi,
Please make a bookdisk of Linux from the exsisting Linux installation
and keep it safely. Then install W95 and after that, boot ur m/c with
that floppy and use "lilo -v" from the command prompt of the root login.
If anything goes wrong, then copy the "loadlin" utility from the RH
cdrom alng with the boot image to ur w95 partition and load linux using
the loadlin utility. then use lilo in the same way to rewrite the MBR.
If ur bootable Linux partion (/boot or /) is a primary partition, then
edit the /etc/lilo.conf file to load lilo in the first sector of the
primary Linux native partition and then use lilo to load it there. Then
install w95 and after the complete installation, change the bootable
flag to primary linux bootable partion using fdisk (w95 version).
Wish u good luck
