Curt,
Hey... Ive setup dual boot laptops, but wavelan i have
not. Something you may want for your laptop is a good battery! They make a
battery (lithium ion i think...) that last very long, weighs a few pounds,
and works on most laptops. I think they last about 10 hours on most
laptops (vs 2-3 hours on many laptops) so you can kick back all day w/out
wires or battery swapping :)
