I do know trhat the redhat linux cd disc 1 is bootable...  For some reason 
it doesn't want to boot on my laptop...  I have created a second partition 
buit i did not format it yet.  How should i go baout installing linux and 
creating a boot disk for the cd and how do i do dual boot with my current 
windows operating system?
