Re: Can I install Lihnux on My Windows 95 machine ?

If you have separate physically separate drives and F is one of them. Installing it should not be too big a problem. Nothing is your "Windows Bios should need to be changed" This has to do with your master boot record. Grab a Linux dist. Most of them come with good installers now adays and make it quite easy to install. Upon installtion Linux will rewrite your MBR and use lilo or some other boot manager instead of windows default boot manager. After installtion you will get the option of booting into windows or Linux. For the most part..ealier posts were correct..this is not the list for this persay:/ Also if you are a newbie to linux....get a different machine or be prepared to lose data or windows on your present machine.
