I would like to install Xubuntu 8.04 on an older computer of mine. The problem is, with only 128M of RAM, I would need to do this through the text based installation on the alternate install CD. Before I found this out, though, I downloaded and burned the standard Xubuntu live CD, and seeing as it took a considerable amount of time (not to mention my last blank CD), I don't want to have to repeat the whole process. My computer has 2 hard drives, and I was wondering if it would be possible, from a running Windows XP installation, to install Xubuntu to the secondary hard drive (3GB's) without a live CD, or if installing one OS on one hard drive and a different OS on another hard drive would even work.

Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

Yes you can have a os on each hard drive. You could look at using unetbootin (http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/) to install
