I was hoping to use Knoppix as a recovery for my data when a computer fails, then just transfere data over the network then redo the machine. I've tried to enable the Lisa Dameon so I can broswe the network, but I need the root password.

I've read all the post how there is not default password and how I should do is in the console using "sudo su". Granted I'm a Linux nebewbie but I can't quite figure out how to enable the dameon from the console. Any help would be appreciated in pointing me the right way.

Also I read somewhere that Linux might have a problem with the NTFS file table on my 2k & XP computers is that true?



Thanks in advance.

p.s. Do most Knoppix users use this distrobution for file reconvery or what are the advantages of using this rather than another disro?
