Maybe you can make your KNOPPIX hdd be your primary boot disk and run lilo from there?

I have two harddisk´s. The first is my production-XP and the second is a 3.2Gb empty for knoppix.
I want to install knoppix with knoppix-installer (3.4), but i dont want to install the lilo-bootmanager. I dont wanna change any entry on my production-xp-harddisk. How can i install knoppix on the second harddisk and how can i include the linux partition in my boot.ini?

There are different ways to do it, but one I like is to use the "GRUB for Windows" from a linux distro called Topologilinux. (In a nutshell, it's a Slackware-based distro that's meant to run from a couple of large files on your NTFS partition, rather than its own hard disk partitions.)
You can get it by either downloading the first ISO of the 2-CD set, or getting the grubinstall-1.0.zip file from here.
Couple things missing from the zip file that you get on the CD: a sample "menu.lst" that you can modify, and an "install.bat" file to install the thing.
It can be used to dual-boot WinXP with any Linux distro (I've used it to dual-boot Red Hat/WinXP and Knoppix/WinXP) and it doesn't muck with your MBR. If you're interested, I can post more info.
Ah, reminds me of the good ol' days of zipslack and BigSlack! Those were the days.Originally Posted by eco2geek

Well you have to install a boot loader. The trick is where! Just install lilo to partition (not mbr) and it won't touch your existing boot loader.Originally Posted by fritschi
