Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

what are you confused about? yeah it can install in to a file on a fat32 partition, just like mandrake, peanut an some otehrs can do... nothing unusual...
No, it doesn't run in Windows, it simply stores its file on the Windows partition (sort of). It creates a huge file on the vfat partition and formats that file as ext2. Then when you select to run it, it uses the ol' loadlin program (or a version of it) to close down Windows and boot Linux from within the ext2-formatted file held on the vfat partition. If you've looked at SuSE's Live Eval version of their distros, you'll have an idea as to how it works.
