Thanks, Roger! Knoppix s is REALLY COOL. I suggest it to anyone who's considering the Switch(tm)... to Real Computing. It is an impressive system, and I am curious to know more about what else it is capable of, when "installed". My boss has been trying to learn bits-N-pieces of linux for a while now, and (after recovering some critical data when nothing else worked) he is finally ready for a dual-boot setup. Can anyone suggest some "simplistic" routines for making use of those silly .pst file backups and also the "Favorites"?? I speak of outlook and explorer files, for those purists among you. Maybe some fancy conversion scripts to make .pst's into mbox's or something? I think I can get explorer favorites migrated with a DB bookmark management tool called bookmark4u (a fabulous sourceforge project)... Suggestions?
Note on knoppix: I wanted to do some root operations, right off the bat, and was a little frustrated (but also pleased) that they didn't make it easy (for those like me who didn't RTFM to find out the root password!)... but I could in fact do anything I wanted through the appropriate GUI: for example, clicking on a drive mounted it, and unmounting is also possible from the GUI. I don't know anything about knoppix, and will surely do some reading online, but if someone could post a couple links pertaining to installation of knoppix (so it can save some config files, and hopefully even emails and documents too, although a designated directory on the windoze partition will suffice if nothing else, but I'd like to configure the samba workgroup, web proxy server, etc) BTW, the recovered system system will be re-installed very soon, so any info on using knoppix as the linux part of the dual-boot would be timely; otherwise I'd prolly use redhat since I am familiar... ciao and cheers, all, thanks for the support!
