Hi all,
I have XP and Bea happily living together in my spare machine. I'd like to upgrade Bea to Bianca without it destroying the XP install (kids use it for playing games)
Is this possible?
Cheers
Rod

Can be done.
Don't know if you've done so already, but I had no problems except what's on this thread:

Sometimes Grub doesn't see Windows. I'd suggest opening /boot/grub/menu.lst and checking the entry for booting Windows before you install Bianca. You may have to enter it again manually after installing.
Good luck!

Wait, maybe?
Hi, Rod!
Greetings from a Puerto Rican lost in Texas.
If you are happy with Bea, you might want to wait until Bianca is released. I lost Windows again from Grub menu when I installed an upgrade for the kernel. It's really not much of a problem. All it takes is a minute or two editing Grub menu.lst. There seems to be a conflict with Mintdisk. Clem is working on it, and it's being followed on the thread I posted for you.
Linux Mint got me out of a bit of a spot down in Colombia, when I needed a PC and Windows went all wobbly on me; so I'm grateful, and trying to learn it as much as I can.
