    Found some topics to install XP on AAO (why AOA ?!).
    But how to ADD to a Linux version a Windows, so you have a dual boot?

    assuming that you already have the free space on the hard drive, just run the installation of windows on the free partition. Windows however will overwrite the master boot record of the harddrive, so at the end you wont be able to boot on Linux anymore. You will need to either use the linux installation DVD to repair GRUB or use a 3rd party utility under Windows to modify the boot loader (BCDEDIT goes for Vista but dont think it works on XP..).
