HD install questions....floppy boot and new HD formatting
Hello all and thanks for your help so far!
Just a couple of questions:
Im planning on picking up a new HD to run as a slave on my system for knoppix, about 20-30 gigs in size. Id like to boot from a floppy into linux for now, until i become more familiar with lilo or grub. I need to use XP on my main drive for work, as well as for my wife. I dont want to mess that up. Will i have the option to boot via floppy upon install?
Also, when i add a new drive, do i need to format it or will the install give me the option? How many partitions do you suggest? It will be dedicated for knoppix.
Would it be better for me to install the new drive alone as master, install knoppix, then change it to a slave drive when done?
thanks alot.
