new to linux,intrested in moving from xp pro to a linux variant. but my main reason at this time for downloading knoppix is that i was hoping that i could use it to access files on rigs with ms non booting o/s. so i could write them to a cdr. is this possible, i would like to recover files on 95/98/me/xp/xp pro if possible. tell people to make backups but they never listen.. need to do this by running from cdrom. is it quite realiable at booting from cdrom,and does it cause any problems to os on hard drive? cheers for any help..
