hey,
thanks. it looks exactly like what I need

but I didnt understand what the different between "knoppix tohd=/dev/hda1 " and "boot: knoppix fromhd=/dev/hda1 " (tohd and fromhd)

I undestand that after I install knoppix th the hd, I boot from the live and in the middle of booting (after it finds the hd) I need to stop is (CTRL+ALT+F1) and then type....? what to type?

thanks

and the idea of copying the iso to the ntfs hd is a great idea. Im goint to try it now
