Currently I'm working with a windows on my tower and thinkpad.
I just replaced the old 40GB WD-HD with a new samsung 160gb sata.
Now I want to use the old 40gb hd as a portable, bootable, OS on
an external usb 2.0 drive.
So far everything worked out.
Knoppix found the external usb 2.0 hd and named it sda.
The 5GB ext3, primary partition is named sda1 and the 500MB Linux SWAP
is named sda5. The rest is formatted with fat32
My question is: how can I install knoppix 3.7 with automatic hardware recognition
onto this external harddrive into sda1 so that I can use it the way I want to, without
messing up the mbr of the windows system I'm working with right now.
At the end I want to use the Linux on the usb-hd instead of the CD on every PC that can boot
from USB.
Please take into consideration, that I know grub and Lilo only theoretically.
I'm quite alright though with fdisk and PartitionMagic8.
What I want is a riskless first step into Linux. My portable Linux in order to help
whenver friends of mine have it-probs and to exchange files between linux and windows.
Any hints? Any manual? Any idea? Thx for reading already!
