Has anyone managed to get a machine to boot Linux and 95/98/NT/whatever off removable media ? I tried doing it once before and could manage to get 95 to start most of the time, but didn't actually try Linux.

Question being - if I wanted to have a machine with a Zip/LS120/whatever attached to it, would it be easy to get Linux to boot. The idea would be that I stick the Linux disk in when I want to boot Linux, stick the NT disk in when I want to crash my system, etc . . .

Any recommendations ?

Thanks,

David
