This is how my hard drives are partitioning

Hard Drive 1:

C: 15 Gig, 8 Gig free, XP Pro
D: 10 Gig, 3 Gig free, all exe files to reinstall
E: 90 Gig, 30 Gig free, personal files

Hard Drive 2:

F: 120 Gig, 30 Gig free, music and karaoke

I would like to have Knoppix 3.8 in Dual Boot with XP. I have Knoppix on a cd and a Grub that i downloaded yesterday. I don't want to erase everything but i would like to install Knoppix without wipping out the rest. Running Knoppix from the cd is a bit slow so if i install it on my computer it will probably be faster without having to change the boot sequence all the time.

Is there a step by step tutorial somewhere that i can print and use to do it ?

Thanks

Thanks UnderScore, i already see the page but because i don't want to lose other stuff on my hd i need a step by step tutorial meaning that i know that i need to have a partition for it but do i have to make it first and then install Knoppix.... you see that i don't know much about it.

Thanks :)
