Hi everyone I am Salil, presently in Philadelphia but originally from Mumbai. I am a complete newbie to Linux.
I have a Dell Inspiron Laptop 1100 with windows XP as the OS. I wish to install Linux on it but keep XP. I do not have a floopy drive on my computer.
Is it possible to install Linux without having to uninstall XP? What is the best way to proceed?
The reason I don't want to uninstall XP is that certain hardware (Wireless LAN Adapter - TrueMobile 1300 802.11g made by Broadcomm) and power management features are not supported on Linux platform. Some wireless LAN card driver is out there but it is commercial and expensive.
Can someone help ? Thank you.
Regards, Salil.
