dual booting windows xp and linux on a netbook
Seeing as i have a netbook, and no cd drive, does anybody know how I would go about setting up a dual boot system with fedora and xp. Can you do it with a flash drive maybe? does anybody know the bestt way to go about doing this.

There is a small tool called Unetbootin. Specifically for installing linux distributions on Netbooks and pc's without cd/dvd Drives.

I can say it works good with flash drives, I myself used this about a year ago for Installing Debian on my Acer Aspire One.

Then It's just a case of following the standard Dual Booting Drill;
Dual booting Fedora and XP

There should be various wiki's out there for optimally configuring your netbook and Fedora core, as it will need some tweaking. Because you haven't mentioned your model of Netbook, I haven't searched for an appropriate fedora wiki. A quick google search should provide the info you need...Fedora (Netbook name) Wiki. Something to that affect.
