Got the rest, but you lost me on these last two. Please elaborate if you would. This looks like another good learning experience here.

Got it!

Your meter isn't showing 100%? Mine is. I'm not getting even close to that in XP

"You also need the qcserial driver. This is included in kernels 2.6.30 and later." <--this isn't the best English, one COULD read this to say needing the qcserial driver is a statement on it's own. Can that driver be obtained & used in the current kernel? Just because the qcserial driver is "included" in 2.6.30, does that make it the ONLY way to obtain & use said driver? Not challenging anything here, just wondering out loud. I'll take your word for it if you want to leave it at that ;-)

I'll dual boot as well, probably always. Heck XP was a necessary part of the solution to this problem! I've got about 25 Gigs tied up in the recovery partition & XP itself... it isn't causing any trouble! I'm not an MS basher anyway, it has it's place & is amazing at times!
