Absolutely. Have you run the Live CD to check all your hardware etc works
first?

1 second with google had this as the first link : "compag dual boot ubuntu"

http://www.akshaymehta.com/2006/09/1...-v3000-series/

The question is : does ME do anything different with regard to booting?
A quick google suggest 98SE works fine:

http://www.ubuntuforums.org/archive/.../t-196614.html

so I guess one can infer that ME will be ok too.

The big question is "Why ME"? Windows ME is about as bad as any OS can
be : buggs, insecure etc etc. Why compromise your HW with ME? Get XP on
it - much safer.

COLA say no to "Win ME" but YES to "ME too".

Telling you what? It wasn't directed at you - it was adding some info for
the OP. It's called a thread. But rather than say "absolutely" I also
added some factual links. relax.

System Commander will install, and menu boot to, just about anything.
It has one problem with DOS/Win95-98 in overwriting CONFIG.SYS and
AUTOEXEC.BAT for all installs to the one with the latest date --
which Billy seems to have caused deliberately by redating those files
on startup. Win NT (incl 2000 and ME) writes an empty CONFIG.SYS
that performs the same screwjob on real CONFIGs.
S.C. also has a "small" version of Partition Commander allowing
repartitioning without loss of extant data, however it will only
format FAT-16 and FAT-32; your o/s must format anything else.

I have a nice laptop that I was testing Ub on, it didn't include WPA,
only WEP, so I abandoned it and went back to FC5.

Dapper includes "network manager" which is supposed to work with
WPA. Unfortunately it doesnt adhere or work alongside the more
traditional /etc/networks/interfaces file - I couldnt get it working at
all either on my desktop or my portable. The networkmanager web site
reveals a ton of bugs waiting to be fixed.
