I haven't yet but I want to install Jaunty as a dual boot to XP.
My question is: In order to install Jaunty on my second HDD from a Live Disk should I select
1) Install alongside Windows (I assume this option will only install on the XP drive) or 2) Use entire disk and select the second drive from the drop menu.
I am aware that Grub should prompt to add XP as a boot option either way but is there anything i should watch for?
Also since I'm currently stuck with Dial-Up and really only want to "Get my feet wet" with Linux for the time being, is there an easy and safe way to set XP to boot by default?
(meaning that if left to start-up unnattended, it would boot to XP instead of Ubuntu.)
Will Startupmanager do this?
