So, I install windoodooz then boot linux. Sounds too easy. What
about partitioning and formating? Will the windowz install disk take care
of that without trashing my other partitions?
I don't know anything about how a computer handles multiple
operating systems, partions, and formats. I thought the operating system
ran everything. So, I'm wondering what makes it possible that two
operating systems can share a hard drive. As an aside, if a PC doesn't
have a processor installed, can you still update the bios? I know, dumb
question, but, I'm real ignorant about some things.

Flexibilty, as long as it entails coexistance, is not the way of a
monopoly. Operating system genocide seems to be SOP at microsoft.

There are days when I think, "If I were really smart I would stop
underestimating the value of self-education, stop wasting money on
tuition, and stop wasting time with college."
