Um... I got a compaq Armada 7800 p2 266... 10 Gig HD 384 Ram (Woohoo!)... Anyway this sucker is running Winxp it runs fine but I want Linux (Ubuntu or something with Enlightenment?)...

It has a floppy drive and I have a usb drive (128mb) and a WiFi card (Dlink-G122[supports G])...
I'd rather not remove the HD which is what some people are suggesting... Anyway I want it to dual boot windows(Which I can't really remove since there is no way to get it back on).
So basically I was thinking I'd partition magic it to have about 4-5 gigs free for Linux and install somehow... now here's the thing I don't know how...

I don't know how to get my Laptop to boot from usb key or floppy (Does it do it by default?). I could probably install a one floppy distro but I have no idea how to upgrade to a larger graphical distro.
MSN me at Deliverancelev4@hotmail.com if you're interested in being bothered about it.

If you push the "extra ice" button on the soft drink vending machine, you won't get any ice. If you push the "no ice" button, you'll get ice, but no cup.

Working...
