I finally got around to installing Knoppix..after
months of running it from cdrom.

I have a 20gig that I split into three parts. A 400mb
swap and two about ten gigs. Told cfdisk to write type
83 to the two tens and I thought I would be able to
get knoppix to recognize the second hd part, but it
says it isn't formated.

Can I install say fedora core to second so it is
readable by knoppix (do a min install) and then use
one of the partitions as a knoppix 'home' incase it
crashes for some reason on the hda1 partition? 

Or should I wipe out the hd and use fedora to setup
the whole hd with an 'extra' say 5 gig '/home' part
and have knoppix write to that after I install it in
another part. What I was thinking, was setup hda1
primary with fedora ~= 5 gigs, knoppix hda5 root, 4.6
gigs, hda6 .4gig swap, hda7 ten gigs. 

This is the wife's machine and she  L O V E S 
knoppix, but I want the one and only cdrom (soon to be
a cdrw) free, which when booted cd doesn't allow you
to remove and use as it IS the os source. Dang desktop
Ittys bittz machine netvista desktop..only one
cdrom/5inch opening. Hey, what you expect for $40!

She only wants this machine for the internet
side/research/whatever. She is writing a couple novels
and that machine was formatted and re installed with
Mcrap so it is isolated from the world.

OH, btw, this is written from the 'installed' ver now.
