I've been finding my way around Intrepid on my old laptop for a few weeks and am seeing the many advantages So I thought I would install a dual boot on the family machine (XP media, good spec) but for the time being I would like to keep XP as the default OS, as in just loads without the boot option, and have some sort of boot up keystroke to load Ubuntu when I get a chance to use it. I'm not planning on depriving anyone of using Ubuntu, I'd just like to be confident of what I'm doing when I announce that we will be having a new OS on the computer!
I'm sure this is going to involve some (to me) horrific grub/boot/bios trickery which I'll never figure out
So maybe someone did this already?:confused:
