First of all you want your OS to be on different partitions. So the letter
in the title will not be the same. You could call them both windows.
Because it would look like this. Put two OS is asking for problems
C:\WINDOWS
D:\WINDOWS

Hello.

I wish to dual-boot Windows 98 + Windows 3.1, but I don't want to work
with partitioning my hard drive. Windows 98 is installed in a FAT32
partition - ~850MB.

I thought about the following:

- Windows 98 in C:\WINDOWS
- Windows 3.1 in C:\WIN311

- boot in MS-DOS mode
- CD to the appropriate folder and give "WIN" command

Would this work? I fear that Windows 3.1' File Manager will choke on
long file names and FAT32.
