1) I love wine in knoppix, but i run it off the cd, so how could i say... install aim that way? When i try it, i can't install because it says there's no place to do it. Could i find a way to do it on the hard drive that's ntfs (xp) formatted?

2) Sorry if this one is stupid, but I have win xp already installed on this... is there a way i could make it so i can install knoppix on it too, and dual boot it?SOrry if this is a long response for this one, but i tihnk it'd be cool to switch around.

1. Wine should have asked if it could creat a virtual windows. That what I do. Of course you can use Gaim to acess you Aim account. Just hit
alt-F2 and type gaim

2. Yes, a dual boot is possible and very common too. I'm currently dual booting. You can use qtparted to resize your windows directory and make room for an install. Be forwarned though, knoppix doesn't make a great install distro. You might consider something like kanotix.
