Re: Order replacement CD from Microsoft

RE: Linux boot diskettes: As I understand, based on reading books such as Red Hat Fedora Linux 3 (Wiley Publishing), the newer Linux distributions are too large to allow you to boot from a floppy. I'm not an expert, but I suspect that if you find an older Linux distro that allows the creation of a boot floppy, then you should be able to install THAT Linux, and then upgrade to the newest via the Internet. The newer distros require that you have at least a bootable CD-ROM, preferably a bootable DVD-ROM.

I am after a legal copy of WinXP myself-I bought my computer used from a repair shop. It has a validated XP installation and has the Microsoft product key sticker on the case, so I may be able to order a replacement disk set so I can reinstall XP. I hope not to buy a retail XP box but who knows?

Why would anyone be so crazy as to trust a pirated copy of XP? I agree, Linux is the prefered option vs. buying the full retail box of XP! (Only use XP if you have programs that don't have Linux equalivants.)
