    Linux

    good to see a linux help board here ive had mandrake for over a year now and ive had a problem installing mandrake and xppro on the same drive i was told to install mandrake first because xp wont recognise the linux boot up iso well i done ot both ways and my sys will only recognise one operating sys c.f.h didnt have this help section so i was difficult to get info.at the moment im using a ten geg hdd with xppro installed and i want to install a 20 geg so i can use both sys.any suggestions marty
