Hi,

OK, im totally new to linux and have never installed it.

I currently run XP and have tried coLinux but had problems getting a network connection (I have a router). I have a spare HardDrive in my PC (x86) and would like to install Knoppix or Debian (are they the same?). I would have thought that since I have a DVD of knoppix and it runs like a dream with network working etc... that I could copy all these files to my free harddrive and away I go..... but I do not see any information on how to do this... I'm thinking it's not going to be that easy.

Please advise on how to install this on my second harddrive so I can boot to either XP or Linux.

Remember i'm new to linux (know a few basic commands) so nice easy help is what I need.

Please help

Regards,
Stuart
