hey,
I want to install Linux as dualboot with XP.
the problem is that I don't want to use 3GB just for knoppix.
I thought of installing regular debian, and not installing everything. but I want linux to read ntfs (for regular files and mp3).
first: if I install regular Debian, will it read the ntfs files?
second: I know it is possible to compile the linux kernel to read ntfs, but it sounds a little bit scary. does someon know a eazy way to do it?
thanks, shimi
