> I am trying to dual-boot Linux and Windows. When I try to open the Linux
partition, I get GRUB, and I don't know what to do.  I am attempting to
save my prior partition (Redhat).

Windows is currently working on the computer.
What exactly is the problem when you try to start Linux? I get the start
of the grub program, and a prompt.

There is no error message.

install fest.

> I upgraded the sound card, but have not gotten linux running to get ALSA
(?), going to use it.

As I have been a Claims Adjuster, and I want to be shipping out to the
southeast to ply my trade.  If the home computer is not working, how can
I use a laptop, and produce work?

> The laptop question is interesting, as I would also like to dual-boot
that, as many professional (?), programs are windows based.

> Windows is necessary, as the accounting program, Peachtree, runs on
Windows. Also, Exactimate.

> Looking forward to having a running reliable fun machine.
