[lug] dual boot

[Hugh Brown]

I have a user that wants to dual boot his thinkpad.  Right now it has
winxp on it.  Since it is a thinkpad, it didn't come with a floppy drive
(and I have no usb external drive).  The user claims that it won't boot
off the cdrom (he couldn't find anything in the bios to set boot order).

I will need to repartition it as well.

What options do I have for partitioning programs that won't mess up xp
and how can I get this thing to boot to load linux?

Also, does anyone know if it is possible to boot recent thinkpads from
their cd drive?
