Im sure this has been answered before, but its not a complicated answer... Unless your really new to all this, in which case it might be a little bit confusing. (This assums you want to keep your win95 on there)

Step 1 - download a 3rd party partitioning tool (Partition Magic?) and change the size of your Windows 95 Partition, leaving empty space for UNIX.

Step 2 - Insert your UNIX flavour cd and install to the newly created partition

Step 3 - Install a bootloader so that you can choose between windows and UNIX.
