I've just ordered a Dell notebook computer, an Inspiron 1000 (looks like a bargain at $579 after all the rebates, with free shipping). Of course it comes with WinXP, and of course I want to set it up for dual boot with Linux (SuSE 9.1 for now, probably). <snip> Paul
I installed SuSE 9.2 on an inspiron 8600 with Windows already installed and the installation worked without any problem.
Are you guys using a network install? Or is there someway to get the cd/dvd to boot on a lappy? Most I've looked at just can't .. at least the ones where I could get a look at the bios or boot settings. I don't want to dual boot, but if I could get the cds/dvd to load from a windows prompt and run install as per usual, it could save some money .. well up to $150 which is what most people who sell linux pre-installs want to put Suse9.2 on it, instead of some system they have done to avoid paying for anybodies pre rolled version. Seems a tad pricey, even if they do give me the box.. I already own it here. -- j My ears are bleeding now.. this line may be left empty for a while ahhhhh silence!
