Thank you Aruneesh for quickly replying with the solution
Will try this tonight itself.
Can I assume that Loadlin.exe is available in dosutils
directory of the CD

Aditya
| Hi Adtiya,
| I also faced the same problem.
| The solution which i adopted was:
| Create a DOS directory and put the following files in the directory.
| 1. loadlin.exe
| 2. vmlinuz (linux kernel).
|
| Now do the Win 95 installation.
|
| Boot under DOS, and issue the command
| loadlin vmlinuz root=/dev/hda2 (where hda2 is the "/" directory of LINUX).
| This should boot in linux.
| Now run the linuxconf script. This is will provide you with an interface
so
| as to configure lilo.
| Hope it works for you.
