Hello,

I read somewhere before that there were partition or boot problems after =
installing 5.1 beside winXP. Has anyone been able to do this =
successfully? Is there something not obvious that I need to set/tweak =
while during sysinstall? This partition has seen several versions of =
Mandrake and Redhat (Fedora is a flap, btw, IMO), and they all do it =
automatically as if assuming that users DO install their OS beside some =
Windows. But I have grown tired of the linux fad/hype and just wanna try =
my favorite server OS on it to see how it does too on the desktop. But =
at the same time, I need my XP very much.

My 40G hardisk is currently partitioned like this..:  512MB Windows swap =
| 512MB Linux/Unix swap | 20G NTFS | 10G FAT32 | Rest =3D Linux/Unix=20

Thanks in advance =3D)
