The biggest mess that learning Linux can create for new users migrating from Windows, happens when they try to install Linux dual-boot, on their primary hard drive, which is home to their Windows partition, and the Windows partition is mission-critical, and they screw up, and destroy/erase their Windows partition. If possible, it is a good idea to set up a separate machine for experimenting, and learning about things like dual-boot, partitioning, MBR's, etc... especially if blowing away your primary Windows operating system, and the data it contains, is going to create any hardship. -- -wittig http://www.robertwittig.com/ . http://robertwittig.net/ To unsubscribe from this list, please email [EMAIL PROTECTED] & you will be removed.
