-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 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.
