Need help with knoppix iso to usb

[Harry Kuhman]

thanks so much ! I was unable to locate that particular FAQ page, ...

It should be there, but I make it a point to never provide the link directly. Otherwise a user just posts another question and waits until provided another link. Instead I tell people how to find what they need for themselves. But if you do find the FAQ your questions should be answered.

... Could you recommend the best linux distribution for removing viruses and resolving other windows issues ?

I don't believe in writing to NTFS with Linux, seen too many people completely roach their file system by doing that. So NO, I can't recommend any Linux distro for fixing Windows stuff. I use Linux to recover needed files, then reinstall from the Windows disc.

Backtrack is a decent security release, but not all that great for general Linux use. Puppy is good for USB use. Not as much comes installed but it supports adding stuff pretty well.
