(I'm going tolearn Frnch if it's the last thing I ever do, and y'gotta have Windoze.) Anyhow, how hard it is to set up one of those dual boot programs? And-or, is there a dual-boot port for people who have never used one before? I just bought a 200GB drive and figure I'll give Doze 2G and SuSE maybe 20. My primary drive is a 40G. Having ballpark 230G total should support everything. If I install Windows 1st (I have to, right?), should I save NN gigs of disc space for SuSE when I buy their CD? Is there a better flavor on Linux that I should consider? thanks for any suggestions, gary -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org www.thought.org Public service Unix
