I have an older Dell Latitude CPt laptop (celeron 600MHz with a whopping 64MB of RAM) and am wondering what my chances are for success if I try and do a HD install of Kanotix in a dual boot config? Currently the laptop has XP Pro installed and running, albeit a bit slowly, but it does work.

Thoughts?

Frankly, that would be a waste of time. KDE requires at least 256 megs of RAM and a gigahertz processor to run smoothly.

I really can't find a use for a computer with 64MB of RAM. Firewall maybe?

No chance to put another (cheap) ram in??? I'm using an old laptop with 192MB/600MHz for measurement very often and it runs smoothly. It's even possible to watch DVD with some mpl***r options.

Ciao Martin

600MHZ and 64 mb ram?, you could try puppy linux, but at minimum you need to upgrade memory to 128 or 256 mb, or max it to what the motherboard can take, those chips are cheap nowadays.
