    You can also just:
    1. Boot from the CD
    2. When it stops at the KDE login, just open a terminal and type
    knoppix-installer and it will begin the installation.

    The installer will allow a dual boot configuration, and will also present
    you with a menu at bootup where you can pick a 2.4 kernel or a 2.6 kernel.
