im not very familier with grub but from what i understand i can install to an external HD and when i want to boot linux from that i put in the grub cd and it boots linux. when i want to boot XP i just boot normally with out the cd in the drive...
is this correct?


ps. The reason i want to use Fedora is because i already have the dvd that came with a book.
