Just to confirm what other folk have been saying, the standard techniques
using LILO work fine with other operating systems, including Win95 and WinNT.
I have all three co-existing on one hard drive, with LILO in the MBR. When
I choose to boot the partition with Win95 and WinNT, the Microsoft OS loader
is started, and I get to choose either Win95 or WinNT.
I installed them in this order: WinNT, Win95, and finally LILO in the MBR.
Linux was actually installed before WinNT, since I ended up installing it
several times.
There are also severl HOWTO's available on Win95/NT+Linux - do a search on the
RedHat web page for Windows (or Win95 or WinNT)...
Configuring a 2nd hard drive is logically identical to using a separate
partition, as far as setup is concerned.
