I am trying to do the same re dual boot with Win XP and SuSe Linux 8.2.
(retail box) then upgrade to 9.0 via internet. I know how to do dual boot
with Win XP & Win 98 for example, but not Win / Linux set-up. Firstly, I
know that Linux do not recongise Windows NTFS only FAT32. Should I use
FAT32 only not using any of Linux File System to do a dual boot system?
Should the set-up be Win XP installed on partition C: first then SuSe Linux
8.2 to be installed on partition D: (on the 80GB Hard Drive) using FAT32 for
example? Plus SuSe Linux 8.2 is a bit difficult so far to configure with
internet and sound card as Linux does not recongise the manufacturers re
Bellsouth (ISP) and M-Audio (External Sound Card).
Other suggestions on how to do this is appreciated. Anyone here who might
gives a hands and notes of solutions?
Best, Alex

I've got a computer store guy who's doing an upgrade on my computer. He knows practically nothing about Linux but wants to learn. I've used Mandrake 8 & RHL 9, but only know a little, graphical basic stuff.
Goal is dual-boot WinXP and SUSE 9.0 Personal, which I bought at retail in a box.
Is there anything we/he need to know/do other than insert the disc after he installs XP and assume/hope YAST will prompt...?
Should we check compatibility, do other stuff first, panic about something else???
I *really* appreciate your help.
