This isn't even a problem with Linux -getting W95J and W95E to install on
the same system is very difficult.  The only way I've ever seen it done is
with two separate hard drives - install W95J on one (maybe leave some room
for Linux on that drive), then take the drive OUT, put in the other one,
put W95E on it, then put them both in.  Then boot up Linux and have LILO
handle the triple boot.
