If I want to do a "poor man's install" to a vfat or ext2 partition, do I just boot the cd, and type: "knoppix tohd=/dev/hdd1"? Will this install all the CD files on the hard drive so I can use a boot floppy?

I have version 3.3 11-19-2003

Thank you

As a P.S.... The reason I'm asking is: the computer I want to put Knoppix on has Windows XP and NTFS partitions, except for the one vfat partition. I do not wish to install a bootloader or write to the MBR (or goof up XP, since others use this computer). If the "tohd" code just copies all the CD files to a vfat partition and utilizes a boot floppy, then I'm good to go.
