   Since Knoppix is meant to use as a live-cd system you'd be running stuff   
   from the DVD. There are possibilities to install Knoppix on the HD, but   
   there are a lot of other distros that are better suited for that.

   see above.   
      
   You boot off the dvd, so you aren't in windows anymore (yes... just like   
   Toto and Kansas *g*).   
      
   Just dl and try it.
