Well after doing some more reading and thinking about how I wanted to do things I went with the duel boot install.

After all if anyone else would boot into linux they need the password to log-in.

Anyway what I ended up doing was what I did on my older computer with a single drive.

I put the second drive in as slave (winXP as master) and checked the bios.
Everything auto detected in the bois so nothing much to do there.

Then I booted of the knoppix cd, opened the root console, typed knx-hdinstall.

I then partitioned my new hard drive.
hda1 boot 50Mb
hda2 root 38972Mb
hdb3 swap 1000Mb

Started copying all files
clicked "yes" to everything
Including installing lilo to MBR

Made a boot floppy.
Removed boot floppy.

Rebooted computer and I get a screen asking if I want to boot to win or linux

I can boot into both just fine.
Connect to the internet just fine on M$ or linux.

I just can not believe how well it went.
Most all the time if I start installing M$ stuff late at night when I'm really tired, everything goes wrong.

I have now run Knoppix live CD on two computer, did HD install on two computers, one a duel boot.

Knoppix has worked so great for me.
Installing it tonight was like a dream.
I'm expecting to wake up any minute now


I was running knoppix on a 333MHz 192 ram 4gig HD and still will be.
Tonight I did a knoppix HD install on my 1.8G 512 ram 40gig HD (winXP on it's own 40gig HD) and it's fast...

If anyone see's something I did wrong were I may run into trouble later on because of the way I installed, please let me know.
