Ok, I have windows xp installed on my C Drive. I just installed Mandrake Linux 8.1 on my D Drive.. now how do i boot into linux after it is installed! The comp just boots into Windows with no options at all!

Try to get a LILO boot disk. I don't know where to get one though. Try bootdisk.com
 
At the end of the installation did you get the option to create a floppy disk? If so put it in & type I think....startx
Sorry I can't remember if that's the command or not.
 
Sorry. :rolleyes: Just reread your post. Sounds like it is something to do with xp's dual boot menu. Have you previously disabled it?

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
