See other followups regarding LILO -- you'll have to use some sort of
linux loader, though an alternative to LILO (which changes your Windows
boot process) is to use LOADLIN.EXE, a DOS executable which you run
after booting to DOS only (not a full Win95 boot).
You may need to specify a linear option to boot Linux from as large a
disk as you've got. There are concerns with earlier (2.0.x) kernels in
booting from large disks, this is generally a BIOS issue, not a Linux
issue itself.
And finally -- can Win95 even *use* a 16 Gigabyte partition? I thought
it was restricted to 2 GB. Win98 doesn't have this limitation. I'm a
bit confused.
