After writing the Knoppix iso-file a few times to obtain a flawless installation disk (or the files are very fragile or my writer has had it's best time ... probably the second) I followed your installation script and it worked perfect. ! So Thnx a lot : i voted a profound "Yes" to the poll .

One tiny detail : formatting the floppy with mkfs.msdos resulted in an unreadable floppy under windows, instead I used a floppy formatted under Windows (FAT offcourse) which resolved the problem.

installation completed with :

Windows XP professional &
Knoppix 3.3 r.20031103

(One Physical HD , 3 Primary Partitions)

on a

Medion MD 9783 Notebook
* Intel P IV 2.00 Ghz
* Ati Mobility Radeon M6
* and a bunch of common stuff further ...

Thnx. again & CheerZ
