My next trick is to get Linux installed and this is where you guys come in. I would like to install Linux Mint LXDE or possibly Xubuntu. How can I do it without a CD drive, without being able to boot via USB and without messing up my Windows installation?
I have partitioned the drive. I have XP installed on one, a small one containing the XP installer files which could easily be replaced with the Linux install files, plus a spare partition ready for Linux.
So any advice on how to do it. I have googled it and there are plenty of different ways although a lot of them assume you can boot via USB.

Ubuntu supports WABI installs, which adds an item to the Windows boot.ini for dual booting. Do Mint and Xubuntu support that too?
