Yes! good point Ge0ph luckily I noticed this as well. However, I managed to get through the install with no problems....BUT i am having problems with the dual-boot with windows 2000. Basically, Im sure I have done something wrong, because now when I re-boot I get a screen full of "10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10". Basically, I will explain exactly what I did on install, and hopefully somebody can point out where I have gone wrong....as I stated before, I am installing to a secondary "seperate" hard drive (NOT a partition of my WIN2k drive)

ran sudo knx-hdinstall and in cfdisk
configured my 4gig drive like this...

hdb1 | boot | primary | linux ext3 | 3700MB
hbd2 | | primary | linux swap | 300MB

hope this is correct ?

I then did "write" on both hdb1 and hdb2

Said yes to use swap
said yes to make hdb2 swap
said yes to make hdb1 root

The installation then copied the files

Said no to Smail
Said no to SSH
Said yes to Samba (got other win boxes on the network)
Said yes to Cups
Said yes to KDE

Named my machine
Said yes to DHCP
Setup my passwords

NOW, this next bit with the LILO boot loader is what I wasnt sure about..I have actually installed 2 times now...on the first attempt I selected Yes to LILO on the MBR and the second time I re-installed I selected NO to LILO. However, both ways still produced a boot up with a screen full of "10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10"

The trouble is, as far as I can see, is that in my BIOS, I have to choose which IDE to boot up with. Now I added my second hard drive at a later date, and I can't remeber offhand if I have my 2 hard drives as master and slave on the same IDE bus, because I have 2 CD drives as well. If it is this problem, then I can easily fix it by re-wiring, however, I am not sure this is the fault. I don't know if anybody can see by reading through what I have done during the installation if I have made any mistakes ? I am still not sure as to how the dual-booting will work with my windows 2000 on one disk and my Knoppix on the other ? Would I normally get the WinNT boot loader letting me choose one or the other ? Or should LILO work and offer me the choice of what I want to boot ? This is the main bit that is confusing me. However, if nobody can see anything wrong, maybe It is the IDE wiring ?

Hope somebody can point out what I am doing wrong.

All the best guys
