Yes you can, but there are some provisions.
1. Don't use FAT32 (contained in Win95 OSR2) for the drive on which
   DJGPP resides (else dos6.22 won't recognise the drive, if you use
   dos7 you can off course use FAT32)
2. Before unpacking the DJGPP distribution you have to disable the
   NameNumericTail of Win95 (see the DJGPP FAQ, section 8.2 (Missing
   C++ headers))
3. Unpack with a zip-program capable of LFNs
4. Set LFN in your environment to the right values for using DJGPP
   under W95(LFN=y) and plain DOS(LFN=n).
5. Be happy and live a long prosperous life.

Greetings,
 Robert.

PS I have worked like this (w95 & dos7) for years now, and it works fine.
