Just to jump in here really quick, I just did a dual boot on a 20gb - my scheme was to install XP Pro on VFAT on a 14gb partition, and linux (not going to say which distro) on the remaining 6gb. XP was loaded first, then the partition moved to the back of the drive with PQM. Linux was installed on the remaining partition - 20mb for /boot, 600mb for SWAP and the rest for "the unnamed distro". Lilo used for the boot on the MBR. Automounting done on the VFAT partition so that it actually mounts on the KDE desktop, along with a shortcut link to the guys "My Documents" on the XP side of life. StarOffice 5.2 installed; all the updates for the OS and libs installed. Fast, down and dirty.

He sees Jimi Hendrix sitting next to him, tuning his guitar. "Holy cow," he thinks to himself, "this guy is my idol." Over at the microphone, about to sing, are Jim Morrison and Janis Joplin, and the bassist is the late Barry Oakley of the Allman Brothers. So Stevie Ray's thinking, "Oh, wow! I've died and gone to rock and roll heaven." Just then, Karen Carpenter walks in, sits down at the drums, and says: "'Close to You'. Hit it, boys!" -- Told by Penn Jillette, of magic/comedy duo Penn and Teller
