Subject: Loading Linux with DR-DOS Loader?
X-mailer: Pegasus Mail for Win32 (v3.12b)
Reply-To: opendos AT delorie DOT com

I intend to install RedHat Linux on a machine presently running Win95 and 
DR-DOS 7.03. I use DR-DOS Loader to be able to double-boot between 
DR-DOS and Win 95.

What would be the best way to maintain the option to boot to Win95 and 
DR-DOS when I install Linux in the empty space I have reserved for it on 
my second harddrive?

Reading the docs accompanying RedHat, it seems to me the best 
solution would be to use Loadlin, after first having booted to DR-DOS.

Or should I remove Loader and try LILO instead? Win95 and the system 
files for DR-DOS reside in the first partition of the first hd, whereas the rest 
of the DR-DOS files reside in the second partiotion of the first hd.
