Larry, Yep, my corporate lappy-top was dual-booted XP and Debian Woody prior to the lame BIOS password turning it into a brick (with no recovery option, per IBM's goal to make it 'theft-proof').
Just install XP first, then Linux. Make sure to tell LILO or Grub about the NTFS (you *did* use NTFS, right?) partition and it should boot fine (at least, it does on my T20 and did on the 570E). Hope this helps a little. I'm sure we can suggest HOWTOs if needs be. - Geoff, lost in the Pacific Northwest without his map... begin Larry Ozeran quotation: > Hi all -- > > I want to create a demonstration system for speech recognition (dictation) > and open source medical office software.
