Partition Hard drive
Hello everyone.
I am new to Linux so hope some one could help me here.
I have a 30 Gb HD and windows Xp is my O/S, HD is not partitioned,but I want to Partitioned it, so I could Install Knoppix(Linux)on one of the partitioned one, how could I do this? OR should I erase every thing and then partition the HD into two parts, one for XP and one for Linux?
Most of my friends say that this is a great OS and hope to learn it soon.
Thank you

NAME

       pmdabonding - Linux bonded interface performance metrics domain agent (PMDA)

DESCRIPTION

       pmdabonding is a Performance Metrics Domain Agent (PMDA) which exports metric values from bonded network interfaces in the Linux kernel.

INSTALLATION

       If you want access to the names and values for the bonding performance metrics, do the following as root:

	       # cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/bonding
	       # ./Install

       If you want to undo the installation, do the following as root:

	       # cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/bonding
	       # ./Remove

       pmdabonding is launched by pmcd(1) and should never be executed directly.  The Install and Remove scripts notify pmcd(1) when the agent is
       installed or removed.

	   installation script for the pmdabonding agent

       $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/bonding/Remove
	   undo installation script for the pmdabonding agent

       $PCP_LOG_DIR/pmcd/bonding.log
	   default log file for error messages from pmdabonding
