    best to use a "live CD" on the computer before you 
install so's to verify that everything will work. note: 
the live CD should run the same OS release as that which 
you'll install. note also that it's easy to get a live 
CD that has install capabilities. get one. 
    ask and one or more of us can deliver or send one or 
point you to a source. 
    be sure you really don't need any files or 
functionality of your existing system before you do the 
install. dual boot ain't bad as a safe course, though 
it lacks the thrills that some risk-takers like.
