I'm about to give up on my old 13-fd set of Win95 due to fragility when I
install new applications, and 3-hour _attended_ installation time!

I vaguely recall some bad language about setting up dual-boot Linux/Win98
systems when it first came out. Are there any tricks or special
considerations to this? Will 'lilo' work, or do I need 'grub'?

Thanks for any guidance.
