Winlose 95 is known for its friendlyness to other operating systems on the same disk. (In other words: it is convinced that it must be the only operating system on a disk itself. Remember: the Reboot menu item does only mention ``Reboot Windows 95''.) However, you can safely install a boot manager again after you've contamin^H^H^H^H^H^Hinstalled Win95. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
