How exactly does one install Linux to an XP pc?

Most Linux OS's walk you through dual booting. Choose your prefered Linux OS and burn it to a disc and run it. You could also partition your hard drive from the XP side and create a space for your Linux OS to run in. If you are new to Linux, it is recomended to run the OS without actually installing it, that way you can get the feel of Linux without completely installing it.

How can you install more systems at a time?

To install more than one operating system on a computer, it is best to start with the oldest first. For example, if you are installing Windows 98 and Windows XP on a computer, install the Windows 98 first. Put the installations on separate partitions. This will prevent conflicts between the two. Once you have installed the second operating system you will find that each time you start your computer, you are given the option of which operating system to invoke. Remember that if you have a Windows XP partition with files that you want to access from the Windows 98 (or Linux) installation, choose the FAT32 file system when installing XP. Windows 98 and some versions of Linux cannot access files on an NTFS partition.


In what sequence should Linux and Windows XP be downloaded?
