IIRC, this is the second time I am seeing this post in the last few days. I have no personal experience with XP. However, Windows are of two types, one which is the 9x type which can be handled with lilo/ loadlin, and the other being NT/ Win2k type, which can be easier dual-booted through the NT loader. I am not sure which of these subtypes XP comes under, or is it a seperate devil altogether. If they come withing the 9x or NT groups, you may try out the techniques used for these OSs for a dual boot with Linux. Try the following HOWTOs: o Linux+Win95 (mini-HOWTO) o Linux+NT-Loader (mini-HOWTO) o Loadlin+Win95 (mini-HOWTO) I have two How-Do-I documents on my home page for dual boot set up under loadlin, and also a NT-loader installation. You may visit: http://geocities.com/usmbish/ If you successfully manage to install XP+Linux, please share your experience with us ... this area needs documentation. Hoping to keep this thread alive.
