Very Swell.
I've not really had the Time (of late) To utilise Knoppix much. However, I'm Presently on Vacation: Much more Time have I in which to Play Around with it.
So: I have (yet) another Question to pose to You:
How do I partition my NTFS Hard-Drive (with out losing any information that is stored upon it?) Is this soem thing done better on Window or Linux? Can I do it at all? or am I to live with Linux on Live-C. D. for the rest of my days with this Computer?
Thank you.

A Question.
Now that I have decided that I like Linux, I wish to be able to use it More. To do this, I want to Partition my Hard-Drive. It makes it a lot easier to use Linux, then, in lieu of Windows (as opposed to what I do now: Use it for Fun).
Therefore: I wish to know how to Partition my Hard-Drive. It is an NTFS Hard-Drive (or, how so ever I should term it). I read some where that if it was not originally Partition (and mine Isn't) then one can not do it after wards with out deleting all of the Files contained there upon. A: Is this true? and B: If not, How do I go about doing this?
Thank you Kindly in Advance. And, my Apologies for takign so long to Respond: I've been busy watching The Lord of the Rings (I recently Aquired the Extended Versions of all Three (Boxed set)).
Good-day.

Which one is best for you i'm not sure.
To re-partition your hard drive use QtParted which works with NTFS discs
I am just about to do a HD install myself, so will need to re-partition too

A. Yes you can resize an existing NTFS partition nondestructivly. The tools provided by linux can do this - qtparted. I have achieved this about 5 times without any data loss. I did back up pretty much everything just in case.

Debian
This is if any one can help me with Installing Debian. If not, read no further: It shall waste your Time.
Having liked what I saw in Knoppix (and knowing that it was based on Debian (not to mention the fact that some one else recommended it to me), I decided to partition the Hard-Drive (done succesfully) and install Debian. I got the NONUS binary 1 BitTorrent wise. For some reason, it won't boot from the C. D. I'm going to try to re-burn it: I may have made a large mistake.
If that doesn't work, I'll ask for more help.
Thank you.
