Just create a Linux boot floppy. Then once you've
installed Windows 95, use the Linux boot floppy to
return to Linux. Make the appropriate changes to
/etc/lilo.conf and reinstall lilo by typing
/sbin/lilo. Then you should be able to boot as you
always do, but this time with whatever windows 95

Dear friends:
First, my thanks again to all of you who took out time from their busy
schedules to respond to my Word97/Wine query.
I added all of my Windows True Type fonts to Linux. You do that automatically
in LM 8.0 (available since LM 7.1 or 7.2) in K, Configuration, Other,
Drakfont.
I am almost sure that it is not any more useful to take care about the 1024
cylinder limit, at least since mdk7.1 release that I installed last year on the
second half of a 20GB drive, shared with WIN9x. It ran happily.
