Hy folks 
So,
i tried out a couple of things to repartition my HD using the Mandrake9.2 graphical "partitoner" (sorry i'm not english) to see if i could add more logic parts... and i found ot that i can. I had doubts about it becouse i red somewhere in the web that the limit for partitions is 3 primary+ 1 extended with a max of 4 logical ones in it. It might have been a bit old document.
The actaual situation is:
/dev/hda1....../mnt/win_C:\.......10Gb....NTFS...."OS" + appz
/dev/hda5...../mnt/win_F:\.........30GB...FAT32....Data
/dev/hda6......LinuxSwap...........512Mb...Linux swap
/dev/hda7....../boot...................70Mb....ext3 -J
/dev/hda8....../.........................36Gb.....ReiserFS
31G for Knoppix? Well it's more than enough. You can use it as is no problem BUT i would suggest you partition your disc into smaller sections. A minimum of 3G is needed for Knoppix. You then can easily copy any of the directories under / to another partition. This gives you an easily re-sized filesystem.
I'd like to do that but i actually dunnov how many Gb should have this or that partition??? how do i subdivide them ???? PLEAZ & THX.
(or in alternative: could you indicate me somewhere to read about it plea??)
For the GRUB thing i just edited it with
timeout 0
title Knoppix
root (hd0,8.) <<<just a guess for now)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20-devfs-ntfs-2.1.3 <<<<???
initrd /boot/miniwody1.gz <<<<???
so instead of loading another choice between the two OSes in GRUB it just loads Knoppix
and i'll have only one choice here:
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=signature(ee821feb)disk(0)rdisk(0)partitio n(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
signature(ee821feb)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WIN DOWS="Micro$ucks Ics Pee" /fastdetect
c:\boot\stage1="GNU/Linux Knoppix 3.3"
BUT i still have doubts about the kernel and intrid commands.
For the kernel version i've been looking these folders here ,but i'm more confused than b4.... which one should i put??? (if they are the right folders to look for such a thing) and what does -devfs-ntfs-2.1.3 stand for??? i didn't see it on the GRUB manual yet... PLEAZ Help me.
for the intrid command whic *.gz should i put there??
