    Installing Knoppix

    Hey.

    I am recently obtained a copy of Knoppix and would like to install it to my hdd. I have two hdd, one being a NTFS where my copy of Windows is on and a second one which is FAT32. This drive holds all my apps and is the drive I mount when using knoppix.

    I am thinking of creating a small partition (about 5gb) on the FAT drive for a linux installation. Creating the partition won't be a problem.

    What I do want to know:

    How should I go about when installing Knoppix to the hdd.
    Will Knoppix create a duel-boot screen between Knoppix and Windows.
    What is the chances that I might loose any information on either of my hdd when installing Knoppix.

    Please just keep in mind that I am fairly new to the Linux environment and have never installed a *nix based o/s.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you.

    This is where you are told "Back up anything you would not want to lose."
    Most installs are pretty straight-forward but do a back up.

    As to how to install it depends if you want a debian install or the simpler
    knoppix installer. Some people do not recommend using knoppix for a hard drive
    install you might want to read more about that I'm re-thinking it myself Just because
    something is easy doesn't make it good (for a non-intended purpose) The primary goal
    of knoppix is a live cd. A debian install is extremely stable. I wouldn't neccessarily say
    that about knoppix. So that's my flame-bait on that.

    As far as the dual boot question; yes knoppix should recognize your windows install
    and set grub ( it is grub in recent versions-right?) or lilo up to dual boot.

    Chances on losing data-read the first sentence. It is possible even while it's un-likely.
