you will have to partition up your drive, install xp on one partition, and install linux on another partitions
read something like http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/l...install-guide/ there guides are good, you will have to commit sometime to reading though

ext3? I have suse linux and i thought it would be a simple matter of inserting the cd and clicking setup, but there is no setup on the cd. How do I actualy install linux over win98 or me? And can I use fat32?
