You can still use lilo with a very short timeout value with win95 the default. lilo will just flash on the screen briefly.
You could use a multi-config setup in the win95 partition which I believe, it's been a long time, can be transparent to the user. The only warning I would give you is that if this person hapens to run fdisk, maybe to see where the rest of his disk went, the linux partition will show as a non-dos partition. Might delete it on you.
