With the possible exception that the Knoppix disk won't fit in the
sleeve of your Palm Pilot like the LNX-BBC does.
That said, Knoppix is indeed cool.
For the original poster or anyone else reading: this is a damned good
reason to keep track of your original partition table.
I've written a script which does this, as well as extracting other
useful system information. Park the output on a printout, floppy, or
your website (well away from the partition you're planning to damage).

The 'si' package is similar, though it doesn't do a good job of
capturing partition information, IMO.
Peace.
