For someone who wants to keep their Win95/DOS drives undisturbed, I
suggest mounting your boot drive in a removable carrier (~$15 from
Computergate.com). Get two trays, and an new blank hard drive for
linux. A third drive permanently mounted can serve for data swaps
between OS's. I use this technique with Win NT, 95, 3.1 and dos. The
computer simply boots up with whatever personality is plugged in, all on
the same box, with no configuration conflicts.
And thanks for the mention of Redhat 5.2 in Linux for Dummies book.
Maybe I can find a copy. I'm 5 hours from the nearest "Best Buy"!
