is this really true that GRUB doesnot come with the knoppix livecd? i believe someone was able to do it because i saw grub in action inside a livecd with Schillix 0.1 http://schillix.berlios.de/index.php?id=downloads, etc.
or, in case that's hard to do, ruymbeke's first reply to this post is quite right about the windows PMI, it did not write to my corporate PC's MBR, just a couple of files added and a new line in the boot.ini, add a bunch of cheatcodes and knoppix should be good to go. *peace*
