VIRTUALISATION INSTALLATION

babamalik99

Please i need to know how to use Virtual PC i have just aquired. My main purposeis to know how to have both Linux(Fedora Core 5) and Windows Server 2003 on my machine that runs windows XP.

secondly i want to know how to use it to configure NAT, DHCP, DNS and all sort required for 70-290. My wish tohav Linux onit too is borne out of my recent likeness for the Open source.

However, all i have is a Virtual PC DVD with server 2003 virtual hdd, my machine that runs XP and a Linux Fedora core 5 DVD.

I will be grateful if i could be guided on what is needed to accomplish the above mission. Thanks
