[ale] Newbie and Dual install

[Jay Loden]

Others have given good advice, and I'll just chime in to say that Mandrake 
does an excellent job of preserving a Windows installation and not being too 
hard to install. 

I suggest that you get more free space on the drive for this, but you dont 
absolutely need to.
