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.

I have a 20 gig hard drive which I am using for WinXP. I just bought a new 30 gig hd to install linux onto. The linux hd is in the master slot, and the winXP is in the slave slot. I just finished redhat 8.0 install and set it to dual boot with grub. It boots just fine into Linux, but does not boot to windows. All I get is "rootnoverify (hd1, 0)" and "chainloader 1" Any help would be nice.
Not sure if this is necessary with XP, but Win 95/98 is much happier on the first hard disk. Maybe you should make the 20 gig Win XP the master hard disk, and then reinstall Linux on the slave. Or you might be able to avoid reinstalling Linux by rebooting Linux from a floppy and then editing your /etc/lilo.conf file, or by running a wizard like Linuxconf to accomplish the same thing.
