O.P. Huh?  how to dual boot linux?
So, I have just finished installing Fedora core 6 by way of a recovery CD and an image of the install disk, onto a clean partition on a second hard disk. I still have XP Pro SP2 installed on the first disk, but I need to figure out how to dual boot the two. Yes, I have searched, but I didn't really make any sense of the instructions. It seems that I have to use 'GRUB'?

What I need is some dummied down instructions for configuring this... I know how to do any disk management through Windows, but Linux is completely new to me.

Help please?

EDIT: I should mention that XP is on hda1 and Fedora is on sda2 (It's an external USB drive)
