Is there sumwhere i can get a manual ( a pdf or somethin) for settin up the dual boot
specifically for fedora 10, i dont want to lose my vista by tryin sumthin b4 that
anyways the downloads gonna take tyme so i better do sum readin b4 that so can u plz also suggest sum place where i can get manuals and all for linux newbie that start from scratch.

One thing more
as i ve a nVidia card , how will i download the drivers, is it available thru the repository ( yum ) or do i ve to do sumthin else to install drivers.

Also, yesterday i asked an guy who had installed ubuntu 8.04 on his system to get a hint of what driver support is available for laptops but the problem is that it did not detect his wireless device at all!!! and thus he reverted bk to vista.
I really want linux to work so if sumthin like that happens on fedora is there sum reference material for that too??? if so can u plz gimme a link.


I really am very greatful for all the help u all r providing....
