Ubuntu isnt just a LiveCD, Its a complete installable distro. .. Furthermore, I would recommend Ubuntu rather than Knoppix as it has a large community so you'll be satisfied with its community support.

هايل ناقص سؤالين Is the boot loader configured automatically when installing to boot windows or ubunto?

How is Ubunto pronounced أبانتا ولا أبونتو؟

yes

DarKnesS_WolF's picture

yes the boot loder will automatically will detect the installed Windows. it's better if u empty like 5 to 10 GB on one partion " so the one partion will be all free " and u deleted it from the windows using disk manager so this partion will be unloaced . and in ubuntu installer u chose this partion to get ubuntu installed .. and it's أبونتو ..i hope i was clear in the installation issue
peace
