I just installed Knoppix to my 2nd hard drive dual booting with XP. I runs great!

I used a method I have not seen on this forum. I used a boot loader utility called bootpart.

Get it from www.winimage.com/bootpart.htm See also the relevant documentation regarding debian and dual boot.

It is great for Linux newbies. With bootpart I can skip Lilo.

Instead, bootpart puts a line into the boot.ini menu. I mean that literally. It installs the new menu option for you. You type nothing.

It is extremely easy to use and almost configures itself.

I highly recommend it.
