After lots of hunting (and still hunting hard for additional HD and RAM) I've finally managed to get hold of a old 750M harddisk and added onto my existing pc (loaded with winME).

Now, i can make use of this HD to learn something about Linux without risking my existing HD which has too much info to risk.


Can anyone advise what is the best way to try out Linux with this small HD.
I was hoping in getting a dual boot (win ME and Linux)using this harddisk.

How should I :

1.) allocate the partition (or too small to partition at all ) for /, /home, /swap

2.) Do a Poor Man Installed of Knoppix? Can I do a dual boot with that?

3.) Install a minimum setup of other Linux ? How? What?


Many thanks in advance for your advise
