Linux and Windows 2000 on one notebook?

Post by Georg Schwa » Fri, 09 Feb 2001 04:49:58



Is there any FAQ/howto/documentation for setting up a notebook with both
Windows 2000 and Linux (e.g. which pitfalls to avoid, etc.)?

Maybe you could make sure your graphics adapter is supported, check
http://www.xfree.org/4.0.1/Status.html

And if you want to use the Windows 2000 boot loader, read the Linux + NT
loader mini-howto on www.linuxdoc.org

Otherwise, I can't think of any particular problems, just follow the
instructions/manual about the setup, which you can find on the homepage of
the distribution you plan to install.

Greetings,
Frederik

I have both running on a Fujitsu/Siemens 750 AGP notebook without a
problem :-) If you need any help setting them up on your notebook, feel
free to ask.
