anyone using this? I have used red hat and mandreak (sp) but want to try this out for a while. I'm looking to dual boot with a winxp pro system. I know that winxp has to be installed first but am having a problem as to where to install linux. Boot from floppy?
I can set up two ways. 1. 1 hard drive 80 gig and let winxp have first 20gigs, next 10 gigs for linux and the last 50 gigs for my other files. 2. Install a second hard drive for linux (as a slave) I tried this first but when installing linux it kept trying to load to the main drive (over the xp) and the same when I tried linux first, XP tried to take over and wanted to reformat the drive.
I have hit a block and need more coffee...LOL
Thanks for any help.
