I need some pointers for a Linux+winxp dual-boot setup on a Toshiba

resize the linux partition (which I pan to do with SystemRescueCD) and
then install winxp. Most of the howtos talk about Linux installation
after WinXP has been installed. I want it the other way round.

Install XP in a primary partition

It will overwrite the MBR

Then boot in with your linux CD or a linux boot floppy and then configure and run lilo / grub to make it a dual boot system

Keep an eye on the partition table so you know what's installed where, though.
