I am able to run LOADLIN after I do Shutdown...Restart Computer in DOS Mode.
It doesn't *really* restart the computer, it just drops down to DOS.


I think I'm stating the obvious here, but I have a menu thing set up
with my CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT so that when my system boots up
(it boots into Win95), I can select "DOS", "Linux" or "Win95" with a
timeout defaulting to Win95^H^H^H^H^HI mean Linux.

The menu is presented by CONFIG.SYS, a value is set by your choice
and you can branch to different parts of your autoexec.bat based on
the value.  I'd have to check my setup at home to say exactly what
the syntax is; I set it up once a long time ago and forgot about it.
