About the captive script. It seems to be a little bit buggy.
I started it to identify the necessary windows files. One was missing (for the script), ntoskrnl.exe ; and in fact it exists on the windows/system32 folder. I tried to look carefully at what happens and the script seems to scan only the .sys files, and for that reason does not find this .exe file.
I tried to copy or link manually this file, but it failed too (this seemed to come from a priviledge problem).
So that I could not start at all the captive system. Next version ?
Anyway, knoppix seems to be a fantastic thing for an old windows user wanting to see if there is a world outside of windows, provided it can share data with windows, of course!
