The best way I have found, is to use the install script wriiten by Christian Perle on the knoppix CD.
So here goes... boot cd up, then from KDE menu knoppix >root console
Once rootconsole is up... type knx-hdinstall. That's it.... follow the script....easy..
Th e script will even set up lilo, this will allow you to dual boot Linux / windows..
I have done many HD installs in this manner, I have found it to be very effective.

Please refer to the Docs section of this site. There are explanations and links regarding this issue there.

Do not try to write to ntfs you must free up space for a /swap and / partition use a program like Partition Magic to free up some space on the ntfs partition and create two partitions one for /swap and one for / the / partition must be larger than 2.2GB the /swap should be twice the size of your RAM if you have less than 256MB.

yep- the default delay setting in LILO should give you time enough to select an OS to boot. Be advised however that people who dual boot w/ wimpdoze tend to boot win less and less often after a Linux install. ;)
