new to linux..

i checked it out after burning the iso, liked what i saw and chose the "install from CD" option.. can't remember the details of what i did after that..

IDEALLY.. i would like to keep windows as my default-booting OS, however i would like to install knoppix to my hard drive, so i can boot from my hard drive without the CD.. does it require a hard drive partition, and if i partition, will i still be able to boot windows?

what is "dual boot"?

thanks for reading
