"during the process of installation!" could you please elaborate? is it during hard disk recognition? monitor recognition? sound/graphics card????
i have heard about problems with LiFy distributions, although knoppix should have worked fine. please if possible do try another distribution. the next meet is up on 24th (i think!) do ask someone for a distribution you dont have and give that a try. i can only "lend" you my cds if need be... you can quite easily run linux from another partition, and frankly that is the preferred way to work, although that involves partitioning your existing partition into two or more... if you are comfortable. good. the installation generally has software and provisions to do it.. you just need to have the courage to say yes!! ;) just kidding... but yes, partitioning is the best way to go about it (stability wise). rbs On Thu, 2003-08-07 at 11:06, rajeevmamc wrote: > Sir, > I am used to working on windows and now I want to experience linux.
