So...my goal is this.
I would like to boot off of a Knoppix cd, and run tools to clean my windows partition. Has anyone done this, or does anyone have any tips?
Thanks!

I tried this
Here's how i did it with v5:
get a root shell: k-->knoppix root shell
type: apt-get update
type: apt-get install f-prot-installer
when it finishes go back to the desktop , right click on the drive you want to scan, click mount
go back to the root shell and type: f-prot /mnt/hdxx , replacing xx with the drive you just mounted.
Running f-prot without any options will scan and report, but not repair. If you are thinking of trying to repair viruses on a windows xp drive using the scanner, you should be aware that writing to NTFS from linux is not considered safe.
Also from a shell type: man f-prot, for more information. I would also suggest opening a browser, going to google.com and searching the web using search terms such as : "knoppix virus scan", or "live cd virus scan".
But it locks up when it tries to scan my HD. Can I run Norton through a USB drive?
