Starting with knoppix

[rwcitek]

How should I proceed in Knoppix (both partition, mapping)?

Here's what I've done in the past on WinXP:

1) boot with Knoppix from the CD
2) open Qtparted (K > System > Qtparted)
3) resize the NTFS partition so that I have enough space for Knoppix work
4) format the new partition as VFAT or ext3

The size you choose in step 3 depends on your needs. Also in step 4 the decision between vfat and ext3 depends on if you want to share files with Windows by using vfat or if you need the large file support of ext3. Typically, I'll create a 2 GB ext3 partition. That's big enough to put a full copy of the ISO on it and a few different PDIs.

Give it a whirl and let us know how things go.
