Is it possible to boot the Auditor CD in a Dell 8200 (circa June, 2002) running Windows XP Pro?

Could I boot the CD out of a hard disc partition (how?), or do I need an external hard disc with LINUX installed?
Would I also need a LINUX only network card and a LINUX only adaptor?

Humphrey Cheung's article from June of 2005 makes the whole subject of network monitoring just as fascinating as it is easy to understand. Is there a parallel article written for senior citizens only marginally fluent in Windows, and illiterate in LINUX?

Thanks / Mike B. / BAILEY_INSPOLSTU@msn.com

You can certainly boot with the auditor cd on that computer. And there is an option, after you have booted it, to create a bootable harddisk partition with auditor. It is however still experimental, and wont be perfect. I tried it and it didn't work great. I suggest you make a real linux installation and add the programs you need afterwards.
