my hard drive is in the FAT32 format, i have 256mb ram, ive got 23.7 gigs of freespace left of my 37 gig hard drive umm the windows version im running is windows ME... i dont think im double booting because i never see the windows boot screen when im trying to run linux, the boot cd works fine if i just run everything off cd. yes i am aware that all the tohd did was copy it to my FAT32 partition, but the reason i wanted to do that was so i could get my modem driver in there and turn it into a linmodem. using knoppix version 3.4 2004-05-17 i dident think u needed to use the boot floppy i thought you could just use the cd and then take the cd out after it booted from the hard drive
