I am a newbie to knoppix (although I do have SuSE installed in a multipartition mode). It looks great!

There is the fundamental problem of how to install new programs and data when running from the CD.

However, and I can tell this is an old question, the standard computer where knoppix would be used is running either W2K or XP probably with ntfs.

I have been reading about not writing to ntfs partitions (before version 3.4!).

However, most all computers are on some kind of network, usually high speed. At work we have domain shares.

Mounting a share over the network seems to be no problem.

The question is, "Is it safe to write to windows shares?" If so, it would seem to solve the problem and just install the programs and data to the share. Not as fast a hard drive but should be plenty fast enough for many applications.

Is there a problem with this?

Thanks in advance.
