That sounds interesting. With Knoppix, how does one save basic config info in hard drive?
Also is it possible to configure the internet connection to run via Knoppix? And, how does one enable deletion of or writing to windows files when necessary through Linux? I have some programs and internet sites that seem to have piggybacked onto my system that are impossible to delete, even with the MSDOS prompt.

It boots from CD so you don't need to put anything on the hard disk, but will have a shedload of applications available should you want them. You can also set it to write some configuration stuff to the hard drive, so you don't lose all your settings between boots. Advantage here is that you can reboot into Windows just by taking the CD out. Knoppix also has _excellent_ hardware detection. It even detected my (quite obscure) USB printer and Just Works<tm>. -- Rev Simon Rumble -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
