Ok, with all this talk about Multiple booting (and the fact that I am very
new to the list), I'd like to clarify something. I have Linux and Windows 95
on my machine, using LILO (the Linux Loader) to pick between them. When I
installed OpenDOS 7.02 b2 it overwrote my Master Boot Record, so that I
could only load either OpenDOS or Windows 95. If i reload lilo onto the MBR,
will it then pass to loader if I choose to boot of the C Drive (where
Windows 95/OpenDOS is installed), or will I overright Loader. Where exactly
does loader reside in the MBR or on the C Drive?

P.S. I installed OpenDOS 7.01 under Linux's Dosemu. Has anyone else played
around with this much?

Thank you very much,
Sean Kane
