Just to be clear - I will talk about these in depth, not equally speaking.
Ofcourse, each subject will get its special focus and weight.

Let's do this together? I talk, you demonstrate - or vice versa. We'll
talk about it in private.

You mean, we load Knoppix and then start installing our favorite
distribution? Might be interesting, but I don't want to confuse the
audience. Maybe we will show them something combined... Need to think
about it, still, but it sounds like an interesting idea.

I would love to get relevant interrupts, during the lecture as well, and
actually mainly.
Still, I might want to leave 15 minutes for a Q&A in the end of the
lecture... If there's enough time. If not, we can leave the questions to
the Q&A special section.

The partitions setup like each special subject, will get its special
focus. As for theory - I don't want to confuse with too much information
given. The audience will simply want to know how to start an installation
process, and as for choosing the partition, we will let them know the
basics (how to recognize a FAT/NTFS partition, how to choose the right
partition, how to create a new partition, how to use it, to let them know
that there is no "C:\" and "D:\" drives but its going like a directories
tree, etc.). The rest is individual to the case which they deal with.
Don't forget that they will not save everything in their heads. I wish to
give them more points to remember, and less information to be spreaded on.

Cool. Bring it. Let me know what you bring in advance though, so I'll also
know your computer's craziness.. ;)
