Yes, that's completely right - install Windows first, then Ubuntu. This is by far the easiest way to do it, and will avoid you lots of problems configuring things, as Windows assumes it's in the first partition on the disc, and screws up the boot if you install it after Ubuntu. Put Windows, then Ubuntu, and the GRUB menu will have Ubuntu as the first item in the menu; even if you don't press enter then, it will start automatically after the standard delay period. (Thus you have to make a conscious decision to boot into Windows - which is as it should be! ;-) _______________________________________________ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
