Thank you very much Nio.
I've just read OBI documentation and discovered to my horror that it cannot
be used for dualboot system which is what I had in mind :(
I don't want to get rid of Windows XP on my laptop.
Is there any way of installing the latest Lubuntu without starting from
non-pae mini.iso 12.04?
