i have a chinese xp pro os and am just sick of microsoft so i don't want to have to spend the $600+ it would cost me to get an english os + office here in taiwan...how can i load the simplest version of linux to part of my hd?...please note: my os is in chinese...so if this involves doing stuff in windows, i will need a screenshot to guide me as everything is illegible to me...
i appreciate any help...
btw, i have downloaded a file w/ knoppix 4.02 that can be loaded to my 1g flashdrive, and have checked to make sure my computer has the option to boot from a flashdrive. i tried to do so, but came back w/ a "disk error" message. also, i should probably confirm that this computer's specs will support linux....eh? how does one do that?
again, any help is appreciated....
grazi!
