Fedora core 3 and oralux

[Brent Harding]

I use a boot floppy to start linux when I want it. I got fedora core 2,
should really upgrade to 3. I just use it in text mode, haven't figured out
gnopernicus yet, since there's not necessarily the best docs on installing
it. You partition your hard drive in two partitions, one for dos and
windows, and one for linux. In my case, I use a separate hard drive, since I
had one from before I upgraded my primary one.

to use dos, linux and windows for a operating systems and programming paper.

flite  and openoffice are good.

starts, etc.

do the linux cd downloads.

xp,?

linux from a program group in windows, that is have something that would
shutdown windows and start linux from windows.

> Is it therefore easier to  have a seperate machine for dos or is the
windows xp console suffishient, or is it better to have a dos emulator from
within linux and therefore whats best?
> Now even if I choose fedora, and or auralux I will ergently need some
tutorials for both systems, installation guides,etc.
