System Recovery with Knoppix
An anonymous reader writes "This article shows how to access a non-booting Linux system with a Knoppix CD, get read-write permissions on configuration files, create and manage partitions and filesystems, and copy files to various storage media and over the network. You can use Knoppix for hardware and system configuration detection and for creating and managing partitions and filesystems. You can do it all from Knoppix's excellent graphical utilities, or from the command line."
What if the Linux that you can't boot already is Knoppix? Can you swap this recovery CD with your regular Knoppix CD during the boot process?
Knoppix, the hot new kid on the block
New? Wow, I'm glad I don't live in that neighborhood.
OMG! We slashdotted IBM!

Yeah, cos using the Knoppix "Install to Hard Drive" menu option and waiting is difficult.
I'm dying to figure this part out...
Someone set us up the bomb, so shine we are!
Yeah, I heard about Knoppix about a month ago and decided to download it. I'll let you know if it's any good once I've got it all down over my 56k.
It's been out for a couple of years, but hey, we'll all wait for your review.
I had a fault on my home system, so I tried to knoppix my wife around. I did not recover from the attempt no matter what utilities I tried. I tried to reiser, I tried to fsck her. I even tried mem86 check her and remind her of all the good times we had. In the end, she rebooted me no matter how many times I tried to replug her.
Knoppix not good for everything.
Yep, this is bad. Baaaddd joke if you can call it that.
Oh, by the way, this is nothing but flaimbait.
Burn karma, burn.
I think you underestimate just how much I just dont care.
Hey, IBM, that was only a demonstration of our power.
