I have two hard drives - plan is to leave Windows XP on the 80GB and install Knoppix on the 4GB second hard drive.
Given that I follow the instrutions well in "Hd Install How To", and all goes OK, will I end up with the following ?
1. A Dual Boot Box with Windows XP and Knoppix - the dual boot manager will most likely be LILO or Grub ?
2. When in Knoppix mode I will NOT be able to write to Windows hard drive, however I will be able to read from that drive ?
3. When running Knoppix, I will be able to read and write to the Knoppix drive. ?
4. When runnig Window XP I will be able to read and write to both drives. ?
During the installation process - when and how is the choice between 'Type of Installation' made ? As I plan to use Knoppix as a learning curve: Down the line I plan to get Debian along with a larger second drive. Thus, choosing the 'Debian Type' should inhance the learning process.
Thank You
Larry
