Dual booting redhat and XP question

[Meadows, Andrew]

True on the wireless, I actually found a distro that worked out of the box for wireless on my dell but its debian based ..... Anyways for my dual boot laptop I installed windows 1st giving it 10 g leaving the rest unformated. Then I installed linux giving it 10 g, it will place the boot partition after the windows partition but it will update the mbr to point to grub, then you can set up the windows boot in grub. The rest of the disk I share between the two os's by formatting it as fat 32. Works for me your milage may vary.
