Hi all,

I want to install Redhat 5.1 into my laptop as secondary OS.
Is there a different steps when Redhat is installed to a machine which had Windows XP?
Thank you

Your subject title doesn't match your question, and your question is vague.

Do you want to install RH onto a box with WindowsXP or Vista? The steps are different for both. Or do you want to install RH, and blow away XP? Also, RedHat5.1 (unless you're talking about RH Enterprise Linux), is ancient...the latest RH/Fedora is 10.
