I haven't tried this one,Harry.
Only Ubuntu and Knoppinx .
But it's useful information you give here.
Thank you for sharing.

Knoppix is dead good for that, although you need a PC new enough to run it. Damn small linux has lower specs. But if your Win 98 PC won't take USB drives and has 128MB RAM this is dead handy.

How true. This only ever happened to me once and it was an old pc. I just rebuilt it, thankfully! With that said, I encourage everyone reading this to make backups of your data..

I just left a clients office where he sacrificed 1.5 years worth of client information because he didn't back up his server!! Not a good place to be...

Carol, you are an awesome wiki editor by the way!
