Duel booting is very easy if XP is already installed, the installation wizard talks you right through it. <div class="gmail_quote">On Dec 27, 2007 4:44 PM, ARTHUR MARTINSON <<a href="mailto:arthur.martinson@verizon.net"> arthur.martinson@verizon.net</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">Since I am a new member, I hope that this idea/topic has not been emailed or talked-about "to death", as it were. I came across a web site with the 4 'buntus on USB flash drives: Ubuntu, Edubuntu, Kubuntu, and Xubuntu. They even have a BootCD that comes with the USB flash for older BIOSes that do not support flash boot-up and simply for those who do not want to fiddle with the BIOS. I am undecided as to whether testing via the LiveCD or this way is better/safer, but I just wanted to pass on the info. <a href="http://www.FlashPCs.com/" target="_blank">http://www.FlashPCs.com/</a> <a href="http://www.pendrivelinux.com/" target="_blank">http://www.pendrivelinux.com/</a> Also, I am VERYnervous about partioning this laptop 50%-50% XP/Buntu. My 3 year old "emachines" laptop DID boot-up with an Ubuntu LiveCD.....BUT it has only 256MB RAM which barely let it run. I have the Xubuntu LiveCD and am thinking about trying that out tonight. I hope the info can be used.
