Well, in that case I rather use Ubuntu. And that is also not the point 
of this exercise. I have a brand new 64bit system, all other boxes that 
I have are Pentium IIIs or so which do an OK job as home print and file 
server.
Also, I have a Bt787 TV tuner that I want to use, but that is not 
supported under XP64 (well, K!TV does the trick sort of), but under 
Linux. Also, there are way more apps I can get for free on Linux than on 
Windows.

All that is side play, all I want is boot F7 without using GRUB. Do I 
really need to defect to OpenSuSE? Then I might as well stick with XP.
