Okay, I would forget about trying to install the Win95 partition with the
bootloader right now. You can do it after the system is set up. Just set
up to boot Linux for the moment. After you're booted into Linux 'man
lilo.conf' will tell you how to set it up to dual-boot (the example is at
the very front of the man page, I never bother reading through the whole
thing), then edit /etc/lilo.conf to add it in and type "lilo" at the pound
sign to actually install the boot record. With RH 5.1 it's pretty simple
to create a boot disk -- it asks you, while you're installing. Is this 5.0
or 5.1?
