The dual-boot was pretty slick. When I originally booted the Linux CD, I was under the assumption that it would format the drive and install Linux while wiping out Windows. I've dual booted with Windows before and they make a huge deal of it, with loads of prompts and questions. The Linux install just went right on. It wasn't until I started exploring around that I noticed all the Windows files still intact. So now I'm dual booting W2K and SuSE Linux 9.1.
The hardware issue was most likely the CD drive in the other laptop I was trying to install onto. It just didn't want to read the disk. Wouldn't even try. Scrapped that idea and put it on a different one instead. Took about an hour to install, once I got it going. Heck, it even picked up the Dell TrueMobile 1150 Wireless NIC. Windows couldn't even do that!
