I wonder if I boot Knoppix from bootable CD on a laptop, does it leave ANY trace on the hard drive?
Does it maby write any temporary files that it later delets?

If so, is there any options to turn off this function => so that there is not writing what so ever on the hard drive?

I wonder because my girlfriends XP Win lap top for work is set on "paranoia" security level, and it is not possible to do
anything fun on it (chat, webmail, many web pages are blocked ... ) and I was thinking that the Knoppix bootable CD is a way to go.

Any thougths on that?

Thanks and cheers!
