Please help knoppix 3.7 how-to HD install
I've been messing around with linux for quite some time now and i have yet to find a distro that i like as much as knoppix. I decided that i want to install 3.7 to my hd and dual boot with windows xp. Ive searched around and around and tried for a while with 3.6 and everytime i was unsuccesful. Can someone please explain step by step how i can install 3.7 to my hd along side with windows xp in terms that a "n00b" would understand? thanks for all ur help.
edit: i have a dell inspiron 4150 laptop with a 40 gig hd...im not even sure how to partition it properly for linux..i.e. which file systems to use and how big.

You need to have at least 2 GByte free for a new partition. Otherwise the system will not work properly.
for real working with Knoppix you will need little more space.
Please use approx. 4-6 GByte for this sytsem.
This space should not be in an existing partition and should be free at yor HD for a new partition.
If you have no free partition, please shrinkyour existing XP partition to make some place free.
boot knoppix from CD
open a root shell
type knoppix.installer
You can start qpartet, apartition maker from the menue and design the needed partition.
follow the instructions at point 1 and 2. It should be no problem.
