(?) Finding LOADLIN.EXE ... and Linux Loader for Win '9x

From Mstrmasn34 on Fri, 12 Feb 1999

(?) Hey Answer Guy! , alternatively, Dear Mr. Answer Guy:

I have recently installed RedHat Linux 5.2. I boot Win 98, to which I am new. I am not comfortable with relying on a Linux boot disk to get to Linux. I intend to emphase Linux in my computer experience. Currently I rely on DOS/WIN for familiarity. Loadlin.exe did not come with the McMillan version of 5.2 I purchased.

Where can I reliably download the latest version of Loadlin.exe (and related necessaries? Also, do I need LILO if I use Loadlin?

(!) The package should be on those CDs somewhere. However, you should also be able to find it in the the Linux Loader for Win '95:
Linux_Load95
http://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/utils/dos/linux_load95.lsm
... The LSM (Linux software map) file for this package claims that it includes LOADLIN.EXE (version 1.6).
That should work just fine.
