changing from fedora to windows xp...
I just bought a computer from someone on craigslist and it has fedora installed, I would like to have windows xp instead, i sent him a text asking for the password and his reply was "format it, and put windows on it" I was wondering if anyone out there would be able to point me in the right direction. any help would be appreciated
Re: changing from fedora to windows xp...
just put your windows cd in and boot up
then install windows
after that you will have to install some drivers

go into the bios and set the cd drive as the first boot device.

How to use OpenVPN on Fedora Core 4 and FreeBSD? I am going to set up OpenVPN to be used between Windows XP, fedora, FreeBSD and Sun. For example, to connect Xp to Fedora. Could someone help me with the setup.
