Knoppix; What's the gist of it.
I have a couple of Rescue Disks I was experimenting with and someone suggested that I use Knoppix instead. I have the newest version of it and it seems more like an Emergency O.S than anything else. The only useful tool I can find on it is Gparted. Do you have to add Emergency Applications to it?
Also could someone please explain how I mount a Rescue Disk or Knoppix to my lost O.S?
Thanks in advance!
