G'day Oliver,

I've been thru the reinstall of both Win95 and linux a couple of 
times and never had a problem with Winblows 'eating' the non-FAT 
partition.

I did learn the hard way that it will wipe lilo out of the mbr however. I 
know there is a way to re-establish lilo after this has happened but 
I haven't used it. I always install Winblows first and then do the 
linux build. Works a treat. Kind of like saving the best until last!

Cheers,
Damion.
