my gateway 400SD4 is my baby, and i really like knoppix. if i back up everything on my network and try to do an install, and it Fs up, i just pop in the Winblowz XP pro cd and reinstall so its like new right?

and if i install Knoppix on my lappy right now, will it erase my current OS?

sorry, i looked in the READMEs but didnt see anything. thanks.
