I can't do an installation without a graphical interface that is less
than 300? I thought that was possible. All I really need is the boot
loader so that I can boot to Windows XP. You see I had a problem where
I deleted my linux partitions and turned them into NTFS using
Partition Magic and now I get a grub command line when I boot and I
don't know how to get to Windows. That is why I was asking about a
minimal installation so that I could just get the boot so that I could
boot to Windows.
