ubuntu linux installation . i am a newbie at linux and i want to install ubuntu /kubuntu linux on my winxppc?
my hard disk info is like this:
1) 80 gb-sata
2) 4 partitions and some unallocated free space
3) C:7gb ->winxp, D:25gb->data ,similarly E: and f: ALL FAT32
4) UNALLOCTED SPACE:10GB(i have kept it aside for linux )
NOW MY QUERY IS THAT
**I WANT A DUAL BOOT SYSTEM WITHOUT AFFECTING THE "MBR"
**SO THAT I AM ABLE T REMOVE LINUX/WIN WITHOUT AFFECTING EACH OTHER
**IS THIS FEASIBLE?
** is the / boot partition necessary apart from / and swap
** ALSO I DON'T HAVE ANY IDEA ABOUT "GRUB" AND IT CORRUPTING THE "MBR"
** ONE MORE THING I NEED IS "gcc compiler" ! DOES KUBUNTU COME LOADED WITH IT ?IF NOT PLEASE GUIDE ME REGARDING THE INSTALLATION PROCEDURE!
** DUE TO THESE DOUBTS(AND FEAR) ONLY I HAVE DEFERRED TO INSTALL LINUX!!!!!! SO IF ANYBODY COULD HELP ME OUT I WILL BE EXTREMELY THANKFUL
THANKS
