Thanks for your thoughts buneyha...

That 18 Gig FAT32 does sound too big... I plan to be working primarily from Linux but on occassion I would have to use my computer's alter-ego... like for games and such. So I plan to do the downloading (of game patches and the like) on the Knoppix / Debian platform and that FAT32 partition will serve mostly as a download basket for the Win2K partition.

Whoa, it just hit me... do I set the partitions before I install Knoppix or would I be able to do that with knoppix-install?
