HD Install :: Old laptop's install

i can use cfdisk from another distro's cd (slackware) then i can create some partitions, i have 2156mb of disk space. how should i divide this? (do i need a swap partition?)

then i can boot dsl base system (i managed to do that)

a boot floppy? what? and how?

You need at least 50MB for your temporary FAT or EXT2 partition to store the \KNOPPIX\KNOPPIX file.

You also should set up 64MB or maybe even 128MB for a linux swap partition.

The rest can be used for a full HD installation, if desired.

okay, i made the partitions, now i will try to copy the file

strange, i can't acces my DSL cd in boot. i have used a win98 rescuedisc to boot dos and load the cd-rom drivers. now when i want to acces the E: drive (c: is 50 mb of fat to place the knoppix filem d: is a virtual drive to load dos) and i give the dir command i get a error which says dos cant read the disc, so i tried if my cd-rom drive could read a ubuntu cd. and this was possible. so what to do now?

i can even read my self made slackware CD
