My Windows XP got corrupted for the second time, and I am ready to migrate to Linux via Knoppix. I have a few questions:

[1] My NTFS files are still intact. Do I need to add a Linux partition? Would it be safer to do this on a new hard drive?

[2] Running some Knoppix web browsers, I don't seem to have Flash, so no access to YouTube. Is there a fix?

[3] OO Draw doesn't want to open my Corel Draw v.12 documents-- it hangs. Any suggestions?

[4] Yahoo mail says it doesn't support Iceweasel or Konqueror. Is that a problem--seems to work okay? I like Firefox-- can I go that way?

These are the most immediate things affecting my will to migrate. Any help would be appreciated.
