I've never done a dual boot with XP and anything. I would imagine it's like the rest though, do the Windows first then do the Linux. I also believe that Mandrake 8x with LILO writes to the MBR of the drive it booted from (or was installed to) automatically. As with the modem, the chipset is the important piece. Conexant chipsets (used on alot of motorola's) have great linux support. Lucent has good support as well while Rockwell I've found to be the most trouble. Good luck with it, if you need help b4 the next meeting, let me know

        <FONT COLOR="#737373"><FONT SIZE="3"><I>&nbsp; Ok then, I will plan on it for the next meeting if that is ok with everyone. I just haven't had the time lately to prepare anything. I will do an installation with a software modem, if we have internet, show how to install LimeWire with Java (very cool) and even install a tv tuner card, Bob Meyer really gets a kick out of those (they do rock!). If people would like for me to do this at the next meeting, I will prepare, please voice up people. </FONT></FONT></I>

Now here's where your presentation would come in handy for someone like me. Motorola does not make modems anymore, but they have this webpage available to download the drivers for Windows 2000 and also for Linux. (Thats how I got the modem to work with XP) Here's the web site for the drivers. Oh I did download the drivers for Linux. </FONT></FONT></I><A HREF="http://e-www.motorola.com/webapp/sps/site/prod_summary.jsp?code=SM56PCI2DFV&nodeId=01M0yyK3NVV"><FONT SIZE="2"><B><I>http://e-www.motorola.com/webapp/sps/site/prod_summary.jsp?code=SM56PCI2DFV&amp;nodeId=01M0yyK3NVV</FONT></B></I></A>

Have you or anyone done a dualboot with XP and Linux&nbsp;with LILO or GRUB and was it a pain or easy? Anything I should know about? Please share:) Its a nice speakerphone voice modem vary popular and stable. I often see it still available cheep around twenty dollars. Don't ask me what I paid a couple years ago, but it was selling for more then it going for now! Installing it in XP was relatively easy. I would not recommend installing it manually from safemode but let XP do an automatic installation from safemode and your in like flint. Yes I know what is going to be said. How come you had to install the modem in this way, and how its easyer to install a modem in Linux is ya da ya da ya da. Well I like XP and this is the nature of the beast and I had no misconception about XP and how to install hardware on it. I read the compatibili
