Kubuntu-Xp-2000---all in one!

[Nilanko Halder]

Firstly, is it possible to install 2000 and XP after installing Kubuntu?
I have removed everything from my system---including the partitions!
I want to install Kubuntu,XP SP2 pro and Win 2000.
How should I do it?
I am planning to do the following:-
-Dividing my HDD into 5 partitions(C:,D:,E:,F: & G:---and A:->Floppy Drive & H: and I: CD/DVD-RW drives).
-Then installing Kubuntu on F: & G: (F:-Main & G: Swap).
-Then installing 2000 on C: and XP on D:.
Am I going the right way?
Pleeeeeeeaaaase help!

^ +1 for that. Thats the right order to install them otherwise you may mess it up.

Why do you want XP and 2000?stick to xp Install XP first, and then install Kubuntu. Since you've cleared out all partitions, create partitions needed for xp and leave 12 GB free for Kubuntu. out of the 12 GB unallocated-use this during partitioning step for kubuntu and not any of the Ntfs or FAT32 partitions. Out of the 12 gb allocate 1 gb for swap and rest for ext3 having mount point /

swap of <=500MB is enough,dont waste ur hdd space!.also try only one windows!like XP.if u want win2000 like looks,then open another account in XP and customize it to look like win2000(which is easy afaik).
BTW,try Ubuntu(Gnome) it is clean and better.yes,you can install kde4 beta in ubuntu!
