[PCTECH] Knoppix boot CD

[Neil Palmer/DPS <neilp@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I LIKE Knoppix.  A very handy CD to carry around in your toolkit.  A 
Knoppix CD saved a ton of user files on a customer's WinXP PC for me the 
other week.  PC would no longer boot up from disk, booting from a Win98 
diskette or DOS would even tell me the C drive was empty (actually said it 
didn't even exist).  Downloaded Knoppix, burned the CD, booted from it, 
activated Samba (with default to export all drives) and accessed/copied 
all the files (see, the C drive WAS there, Windows was lying to me) by 
connecting from Network Neighbourhood in Windows Explorer on another PC 
connected to the same switch.

Knoppix would be a good Linux version to try. No need to install, just
run it off the CD.
