I wanted to install a dual boot with Win95 & WFWG 3.11 so I could try 
out Win95 without sacrificing my old system setup.   Here are the steps 
you can take to duplicate my dual boot installation:
***********************************************************************

1.  Copy (duplicate) the whole Windows directory and all it's sub 
directories to another directory, like \WIN31.  Copy the \DOS directory 
to another one as well, like \DOS6 .

2.  Edit all the INI files in the WIN31 directory and change all 
references from \WINDOWS to \WIN31.  The "find and replace" command in 
most word processors makes this easier, but be sure you save them as 
text files.

3.  Boot up your PC and install Win95 SETUP through windows program 
manager "FILE-RUN".  As you install WIN95 it will rename your CONFIG.SYS 
AND AUTOEXEC.BAT files to CONFIG.DOS and AUTOEXEC.DOS.   (When you dual 
boot it renames them back to CONFIG.SYS AND AUTOEXEC.BAT....and then 
backups the WIN95 versions as .W40).

4.  After Win95 finishes installing and you are on the desktop, use 
notepad with "select all files *.*"  to edit the CONFIG.DOS and 
AUTOEXEC.DOS files and change all \WINDOWS references in them to \WIN31, 
and all \DOS references to \DOS6 .

5.  In order for the dual boot menu to work, the following lines must 
appear in the [Options] section of your MSDOS.SYS file:   (If you use 
Doublespace or Drivespace disk compression you must change both MSDOS.SYS 
files - one on the boot drive and one in the compressed drive)

  [Options]
  BootGUI=1
  Network=0
  BootMulti=1
  BootMenu=1
  BootMenuDefault=7  (original DOS as default.  Use 1 for Win95 default)
  BootMenuDelay=5    (number of seconds to select something else)
  ;

To add these lines, first, open "My Computer" and use the menu bar to 
VIEW - OPTIONS - VIEW - Show All Files, and also unclick "hide MS-DOS 
file extensions".  Then double-click on the MSDOS.SYS icon and look.   
If it doesn't have all the above lines, you'll need to edit this file 
and put them in.   

Since the MSDOS.SYS file is "read-only-hidden" you'll need to first 
change the file attributes and then use the notebook editor to insert 
the new line(s).  Then you'll have to change the attributes back to 
their original states when done to protect the file.

To change the attributes, click on the MSDOS.SYS icon using your RIGHT
mouse button.  Select Properties and uncheck the attribute blocks.
Exit and make your text changes, then save the file.  Then put the 
attribute check marks back where they were.

 7.  Now, exit Win95 and re-boot.  You should now see the boot menu and
be able to select which mode you want to boot into.

Remember, any programs you install after this will only appear in the
system you were running at install time.   For example, if you install 
MS Word under Win95 you will have to install it again under old 
DOS/Windows if you want to run it both ways.  You can install the 
program to the same directory both times and you'll simply overwrite
the files and avoid having two sets of the new program on your hard drive.
