OK, a really simple question:

where is there a definitive howto describing exactly how to install 9.2 on 
a laptop that already has XP on it, in such a way that one can boot either 
OS at the end of the installation?

There are lots of howtos for other versions of Mandrake and other other 
Linuces, but they aren't consistent and they don't leave me with any 
confidence that I won't end up with a munged box.

This laptop (an IBM T40) has NO floppy drive.

I just did an installation on it, and looked long and hard at the screen 
that asked me where to put the bootloader -- and I didn't know how to 
answer the question (especially since it said that this step was usually 
automatic).

There are no XP system CDs, just those stupid "put the entire system back 
the way it was when you opened the box" CDs, so if I screw up the 
installation, I can easily see myself losing everything that's currently on 
the box. yes; there's a backup, but it's still a major pain to re-install 
and rebuild everything. So I really want to avoid that and get the Mandrake 
installation right the first time.
