Vista and 7 let you resize the NTFS partition. With XP you may have to
use (external) GParted (on a Linux liveCD), which is a little tricker.
Then ideally you'd maybe (?) use EasyBCD to configure the Windows
bootloader (as I don't think GRUB cooperates very well, at least
IMHO).

It's certainly safer / easier to install in VM but perhaps slower and
buggier (depending).

Well, Connochaet (sp?) is based upon ArchLinux now, so perhaps it's
more compatible than even old DeLi was. I just know that DeLi (esp.
before the Unicode-aware 0.8.0) was very very light on RAM. Of course,
who knows, perhaps uclibc had bugs re: DOSEMU anyways, dunno.   :-/

But MicroCore might work too, and personally I'd probably try that
first. (My other PC uses Lucid PuppyLinux, partially Ubuntu
compatible, and DOSEMU works fine there. But it's not super ultra
minimal, it's got X11 and other stuff, totals about 130 MB.)

Anyways, I dunno, sometimes things work, sometimes they don't. You
never know until you try. That's all part of the fun (and frustration)
with computers.   ;-)
