You can create 2 separate DOS partitions - and use GRUB to

of the install CD as if it were a CD drive, after using your
Windows or Debian to copy the ISO to your DOS/Win95 harddisk.
The ISO has plenty of ZIPs to use with the
Hello everyone,
I have an old 1995-vintage pentium system running a triple-boot of Debian,
