Good afternoon
I am Working with Zorin OS for the first time.
I want to install Zorin OS along with WIN XP and Bodhi Linux 2.4.0 on an old machine (AMD Athlon 64bit). Will it automatically write a new MBR and provide the correct boot menu after installation?
My partition config:
There is a partition for WIN XP (30GB), a partition for Bodhi Linux (25GB), a partition for Swap 10GB), an extented partition with a logical partition for Zorin OS (25GB) and a logical partition for data (60GB).

Thanks for your helpful response.
Franz

Hi, and welcome! 25 Gb is pretty tight for Zorin - I would go with Lite with that amount of space rather than Core. ;) :D
