Hi Friends,
   
  I have started an instalation of CentOS on my HP laptop, which has XP loaded on a 100 gig drive.  XP works great.
   
  I did manage to get the bootloader from CentOS installed, and it prompts for XP or Linux, but only runs XP.  I chickened out when installing the Linux, since I was not sure about the partitioning, size, etc.
   
  If anyone can help me on saturday, before, during, or after the meeting?  I would appreciate it.  
   
  I am getting so weary of XP, and long to boot either OS. Getting the wireless to work on Linux, is another issue....
   
  TIA, and really truly looking forward to the computer forensics meeting.... so perhaps the install is better before, or after the meeting.
   
  Jim
