    Hi! I just bought a knoppix cd and i want to install it on my computer. I
    already have woody installed which is dual booting with XP. I have 2
    questions.
    1. I want to replace woody without overwriting my files in home. Is this
    feasible? Home by the way is a different partition .How do i go about it?
    Can you please show me good howto. Ive googled and it seems that there is a
    lack of clear documentation.
    2. I dont have lilo on my mbr coz ive read that NTloader must be in command
    . So i just installed lilo on my root and let NTloader boot.. Is this still
    true? Is it ok if i just let LILO manage the booting?

    TIA

    Rafiks
