Bootcamp 448: Installing Linux part 3   
Tuesday, October 31 2006 @ 02:19 PM EST
Contributed by: sde

It is time to do the deed and install Linux Mandriva on your Windows XP computer in ‘dual-boot’ mode. Once again I must stress that you should only attempt this after you have backed up all essential data and accept that there is a small risk that you could end up loosing your XP system. See also this week’s Top Tip for some basic troubleshooting advice.

Switch on the PC pop in your copy of Mandriva (ideally the Free 2007 version on DVD), the computer should boot from the disc and the opening screen appears with a number of options. Use the cursor up/down keys to select Installation and press Return. On the next screen select your language, the mouse should be active now, choose English (British) and click Next. This takes you to the Licence Agreement, click Agree then Next and the Keyboard menu is displayed, ‘UK Keyboard’ should be checked if so click Next and the Security menu appears. The default setting is High, this is fine, and leave the Security Administrator box empty then click Next.
