I don't know how much knowledge the OP has got or doesn't have got. How important a working computer is. If the OP easily can establish an Internet connection for a live media. Perhaps the OP needs Windows? I run XP in VBox to sync an iPad I won. It doesn't really work, most apps can't be synced and Apple portends to virtual machines as not working with iTunes. I don't care, I didn't pay for the iPad. Perhaps the OP has a reason to use XP. There are trillions of tasks Linux can't do. You and I seemingly don't need to have Windows abilities. But what does the OP need? - Ralf PS: OT: What will be in the future, is it possible to use live medias with UEFI? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
