Dear Isaacav2,
I suggesting you to install the latest possible version of Knoppix 3.2 (till now is 06/06/2003).
The installation progress is very easy I think, just open a console from KDE desktop (or press Ctrl + Alt +F2 at the same time to access a real console), type sudo and press enter key, type knx-hdinstall and press enter key then just follow the on screen instructions. Be very carefull not to delete or defect any existing OS partition or installation settings...

If you have other or unanswered questions please let me know and I will try to help you (I am newbie too!!!)
