I have surf the net and found Knoppix, Ubuntu and Puppy OS so interesting. But my problem is I don't have a cd/dvd writer nor USB pen to install the program. I have 2 harddrives installed on my pc (1 40g and 1 10g). I am planning to save the iso image file to my 10g hdd and have installed on my 40g harddrive. Would it be possible? I tried downloading the file for each OS and saving it on my 10g hdd but it not booting up. I also tried extracting the file but still no luck. Can you guys help me on installing any of this OS please.... Thank you in advance. Steven

Check their sites if you prefer one of those distros. If it ain't broke, you aren't trying hard enough.
