Re: [ilugd] Dual Booting
Hi The only reason I wanted to use pcqlinux was because of the patches - I don't have access to an unlimted band width connection and wanted to make use of software loaded on. However - why would you advice against installing a patches distro ? Just to understand better. regards ram Sandip Bhattacharya wrote: On Tue, 2005-04-26 at 12:41 +0530, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I want to Install PCQ Linux 2005 as dual boot. What do I do ? Dont.
