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?

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.
