Cool Slackware 12.0 on Dell Vistro


Hi,
I just bought my first laptop mainly for presentations. I have my desktop with slackware 12.0 installed, without any Microscoft operating system. I want to partition the harddrive in my laptop for both window XP and slackware 12.0, in case that something happens in the Linux box, I still can use window XP as my backup for doing presentations. Are there any things that I need to pay attention in order to do that correctly? Any references on the webs on how to do to that would be much appreciative.

Thanks,

dukeman

No need for anything, just create a separate windows partition, install windows then use your slack boot cd (or any other tool) to install lilo or. Optionally you can use any other bootloader.
