Hi my name is Mike and I'm a Windows user... but I'm willing to change.

Today I burned and used Knoppix for the first time. After a few hours of playing around and doing my usual work on the computer I was hooked. A bootable CD won't do it for me anymore, my drives are ready to have a Linux Partition...

Today my task is to find out how to install Knoppix on the hard drive!
