Installing Linpus on a Win XP machine

And now for something completely different... if I get a 120GB Win XP machine, wo0uld I be able to install linpus from somewhere? I like the simplicity of it for 75% of my use on it, but there are some specialty applications for school and work for which I would need windows xp on it as well. Any ideas?

 

Hi,

You could find the software in the Linpus download page http://www.linpus.com/xampp/modules/myd ... php?cid=16.
Or, you could try first to see how this work the LiveCD at http://www.linpus.com/xampp/modules/myd ... php?cid=14 this is a bootable CD that don't change anything in the original hard drive.

 

ive the acer aspire one recovery dvd in the drivers section ready for download

 

Cool thanks, do you think that the Linux might not recognize the 120GB properly? I am guessing that the recovery DVD for Linux for erase the Win Xp partition while CD in the other guys link might not?


I never ran a dual OS before, but I definitely see the beneefits to the simplicity of having Linpus as the main OS with WinXP as a backup for running speciality programs etc. If you set up two partitions, they cannnot share files between them right? ieie, if I work on a file in Open office in linpus then I would not be able to see that file if I boot into windows?

Thanks
