Re: Linux on already installed XP
Don't forget that PQ magic signs the MBR, so you won't be able to uninstall it (PQ magic) from your windows once you used it, otherwise win will complain.
You may also have your linux install complain about partition alignment because of it, but you may safely ignore the warning.
I personnly like Redhat family, AS or the free fedora, teh latest is fedora core 2 , on 2.6 kernel.
To get it smooth, you need something like 2GHz CPU, 256 Mb min of ram, and 6 Gb HD.
If you have less, let us know, we'll advise you about another linux distribution.
Hope it helps

Re: Linux on already installed XP
All you have to do is find a source site to get the software and input enough network setup to get your box on the Internet.
1) Identify the distrbution you want
2) Identify the ftp address to connect to
3) Build a boot floppy from the distribution site that will let you connect.
There are instructions on the linux sites how to do this.

Re: Linux on already installed XP
I'm using the first for tests for linux, win98, servers, etc. and i'm glad to avoid installing grub or lilo on the MBR, as i did before, and you will have access simultanously to both or several OSs.
I like RedHat too.
My best regards

Re: Linux on already installed XP
Another point about VMWare : I believe new versions are commercials...
Distribution choice depends on your own experience on Linux or more generally on Unixes. I would personnaly go with Slackware without any doubt (secure, stable, Unix touch). I could also suggest Debian but RH or Mandrake are surely more Windows-Users-Friendly...
Best thing is to test them all.
Most of official sites give you access to iso downloads by FTP. The only problems may be time and bandwidth ;)

Fred

Re: Linux on already installed XP
If by 'share' you mean windows share, then it won't work. You need ftp or http or NFS share.
Then make a boot diskette with bootnet.img, here is the way how :
http://www.europe.redhat.com/documentation/rhl9/rhl-ig-x86-en-9/s1-steps-install-cdrom.php3#S2-STEPS-MAKE-DISKS
http://www.europe.redhat.com/documentation/rhl9/rhl-ig-x86-en-9/s1-begininstall-ftp.php3
Boot from the diskette, you'll be asked where to install from, and here you go.
Thanks to assign points if useful.
