Um, I'm pretty sure the Kubuntu installation is pretty straightforward, and includes partitioning/dual boot options. I would just go ahead and start the installer.

It is on Kubuntu that he cant get on the internet with, he needs some kind of Wireless Network thing. But the only thing is that the Belkin USB Wireless Adaptor has only XP Drivers, on some program for Linux there was something that installs Wireless drivers, but he cant get the drivers for the adaptor.

You should be able to get the drivers from the internet and I believe Belkin does just this. Here is a link to get to the Belkin downloads for wireless networking: http://www.belkin.com/support/download.asp?category=9&lang=1&mode= . Just click the adapter you have and download the drivers.

Now to get the wireless adapter working on Linux, you might be able to try ndiswrapper at http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/ . That worked for me, but I wasn't using Belkin. I heard that ndiswrapper + Belkin is a deadly combination, hehe. But basically Ndiswrapper uses your Windows driver in Linux to get it working. There is a guide that is especially for Kubuntu and Ndiswrapper at http://diabolikal.org/e107_plugins/content/content.php?content.75 . Here is a list of cards that are known to work with Ndiswrapper: http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/mediawiki/index.php/List . But just because it's not on the list doesn't mean it won't work.

Good luck,
Chris
