Knoppix newbie here please be gentle and specific.
I really like the knoppix 3.3 and wish to install as a full os. I have an 8gb drive that is primary master and a 6.4gb that I want to install as primary slave. The second drive has not been installed yet but that is no problem.
What I want to know is how do I go about installing knoppix 3.3, as a debian test sytem (full and updates), on the second drive after I install it? I know the 6.4gb drive has some version of windows on it. How do I prep it for the knoppix install? Is there a special way to format it or should I just use the windows format utility to do it? Will knoppix partion the second drive and install all the software? Is it better to use lilo or grub in this situation?
Any other words of wisdom about the process would be helpful as well.
Sorry for all the questions, I searched and could not find an faq on installing to a second dedicated drive for knoppix. The only thing that was said was that this would be the ideal way to run 2 different os.
I would like it to work as a dual boot system if possible without using a floppy.
Thank you for knoppix and for helping a noob with this task.
Looking forward to the day I can bin windows.
