Re: Run more than one OS on your PC!
You can instruct W95 through a configuration file (msdos.sys) to
boot into DOS. The default option is BootGUI=1 and you should
change it to 0.
Now you can start loadlin from DOS or build a menu using config.sys
and autoexec.bat. However, this is not the way to go, since the kernel
resides in DOS partition is vulnerable to viruses and Windogs mood.
I suggest you set loadlin as a second alternative in case you run into
trouble.
