Have tried to follow your guide rldleblanc but I run into a problem that I can't seem to solve (Newbie warning).

Code:
noppix@ttyp1[knoppix]$ su
root@ttyp1[knoppix]# mount -o remount,rw /cdrom
root@ttyp1[knoppix]# cd /cdrom
root@ttyp1[cdrom]# mkdir boot
root@ttyp1[cdrom]# grub-install /dev/sda
mkdir: cannot create directory `/boot/grub': Read-only file system
root@ttyp1[cdrom]#
My setup:
Computer is USB bootable
18Gb USB drive with
sda1 ext2 1Gb Knoppix tohd install
sda2 ext2 4Gb Persistant Home
sda3 swap 512Mb
sda4 ntfs 13Gb for WinXP transfers between home and work

Any solutions or ideas would be greatly appreciated (include big pictures since I'm a Knoppix/linux newb )
