Gilles,

It works great! Firstly I told vmWare Player to use an existing VM.
Then all I did was to tell vmWare Player where the Knoppix ISO file was... in Settings.
Viola!. Knoppix that has NTFS support built in.

When I looked into the menu.lst on sda1... so I could add the "home=scan"... I found a parameter I don't understand.
"data=ramdisk"

What I was hoping to do was to add a new disk to the VM... and put a knoppix.img persistent home on it...
I did manage to get that created... and it showed up as /dev/sdb

Something did crop up... the screensaver... it goes straight to it after X finishes loading.
Data persistence would help that out.

But I am using vmware player 3.1.5 build-491717... because ver 4 needs better hardware than my laptop I have at home. (I'm never there!)

Thank You
