It is also possible to use the install disk. You just stop after
detecting the hard disk (don't reformat it :) Then you do:
#mkdir /mnt
#mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
#chroot /mnt
and then you can do whatever you need

You may still be able to access your hard disks with Knoppix. After booting
I suppose is possible to make an USB-flash bootable eable to assemble
the raid/lvm in boot time ready to repair the faulty system, is n't
