|
<P>This document describes a simple three step procedure for using Loadlin
|
|
to dual boot between Linux and Windows 95/98/ME. If you prefer to use
|
|
the LILO boot manager, please consult the
|
|
<A HREF="http://metalab.unc.edu/LDP/HOWTO/mini/Linux+Win95.html">Linux+Win95 Mini-HOWTO</A>.

|
<P>
|
|
<P>This version of this mini-HOWTO has been completely rewritten with
|
|
major differences from the previous version (1.4.6). The following
|
|
highlight the major differences:
|
|
<P>
|
|
<UL>
|
|
<LI>Name change. The Loadlin+Win95/98/ME mini-HOWTO was formerly known as "The
|
|
Loadlin+Win95 mini-HOWTO. The change was made to more accurately
|
|
reflect the topic covered herein.</LI>
|
|
</UL>
|
|
|
|
<UL>
|
|
<LI>The focus has changed from Win95 to Win98, and as a result this
|
|
mini-HOWTO is simpler and easier to follow. Microsoft made some changes
|
|
in the way Windows boots in Win98, which has made most of the dual boot
|
|
methods for Win95 incompatable with Win98. If you still wish to see the
|
|
Win95 specific mini-HOWTO you can view it
