    install lilo to linux partition
    choose to create startup disk
make NT partition;
    if short on space
        share this with windows 95;    #   make extended dos and logical
drive
    else
        make ntfs extended
    fi
  install NT
restart

    boot to
            Win 95
            Win NT
    if okay
        use boot disk to boot to linux
        <chek the archive to find the message Windows NT-linux Howto or
something like that>
        <or use man dd>
