Im completely new to Linux (I bet youve heard that before! :P) and Im thinking of Dual booting it with XP Pro. I currently have XP Pro installed, and want to install SUSE 10.1 on a separate partition.
My question... Is there anything I should be aware of before going ahead with this? Anything I need to change, set, edit etc before I start the Linux install?
Create a 'free/unpartitioned' space for SuSe. during installation, select 'Unpartitioned/Free sapce for install'. installer will take care of partitioning and formatting. Dual Boot is default. dont change anything in Boot Loader section.
