If you have sighted help ask them to look at the screen when it starts to
boot, a screen should show that is the GRUB boot menu, there are selectons
to pick, I think you hear a beep when it is on the screen. It doesn't
speak but you have to use the down cursor button to select which system you
wish to boot into.
My system goes into SLINT unless I use the down arrow to boot into Windows.

Thanks for your help.
Not sure what I did wrong.
I went through the installation all seemed to go well.
But when I got to the end and it had me reboot it went directly to windows.
Did not give me the option to boot into slint.
Before I give it another try, was wondering if I forgot something or
overlooked something.
The c: drive which is windows is 1 tb and the other drive which I
installed slint is 232gb.
Planned giving it another go either tomorrow or Monday.
So any ideas would be appreciated.

Hi Rodney
I wouldn't expect any issue.
About sound: just after booting the installer probes the sound boards
and ask if
you want to use each one as it finds it. As soon as you hear that it
asks, just
press Enter, as if you hear the message the sound board works.
Then, choose the Auto mode of installation. The installer will list the
drives
and ask which one you want to use.
At end of installation it will prepare a boot menu including a boot
entry for
Windows, which will be the second one.
Cheers,
Didier

I have a computer here that Is a HP Compaq DC5850
With 2 hard drives and has 8 gigs of ram.
I have a couple questions before I jump on this task.
I install a NVIDIA video card that has HDMI and it seems to have
disabled my onboard audio.
My question is when I go to install slint will it support the hdmi or
do I need to use USB speakers or headphones?
It shows that this computer does not support secure boot, so I am
assuming that should not be and issue doing dual boot, especially since
I do not have to worry about disabling it.
Since this computer has 2 drives I figured I would put slint on the
second drive. Once I am done is there anything I need to do to insure
I can boot from windows or slint when turning on computer?
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
