Is is possible to kick off a windows install under Knoppix?
I have a freshly formatted & partitioned drive that I'd like to setup to triple boot win2k, xp and an undecided distro of linux. I was hoping to be able to use Knoppix to start the Win2k install via wine. I set wine to run in a windowed mode and it pops up the windows menu screen from the windows2000 cd. However, when I click on the "install windows 2000" a new window shows up and terminates itself after a short bit. It is possible that I have setup wine incorrectly as I am very new to knoppix / linux.
Any solutions, insight, or suggested reading material would be most welcome.
*edit* forgot to mention that currently all three partitions are in NTFS
