Hello Alan - 

AZ>> I'm playing around with a new version of Knoppix 3.8 (from
AZ>> http://www.knopper.net/knoppix/index-en.html)... many of
AZ>> you may recall that Knoppix is one of several Linux
AZ>> distributions that can be booted directly from the CD, and
AZ>> run (slowly) without installing it onto your system...
AZ>> this makes it a nice way to try out Linux without having
AZ>> to mess up an existing Windows installation. 

AZ>> I've found Knoppix does a very nice job of autodetecting
AZ>> hardware while starting up-- generally finding network
AZ>> adapters, modems (probably not Winmodems), sound, video,
AZ>> etc. 

AZ>> This new version adds a new twist-- besides booting from
AZ>> the CD if desired, it can also be run in a window within
AZ>> Windows... inserting the CD while Windows is running
AZ>> autoplays a program called QEMU which allows Knoppix to
AZ>> boot as a program on the Windows desktop. 

JG>> I wonder if you could just copy the CD to the hard drive
JG>> for performance purposes - seems likely. That way you
JG>> could still run it at full speed and simply delete the
JG>> folder if you didn't want to use it any more... 

AZ>> I may give it a try... will report back if so. 

JG>> I loaded the Virtual CD driver from MS
JG>> (http://download.microsoft.com/download/7/b/6/7b6abd84-7841
JG>> (http://download.microsoft.com/download/7/b/6/7b6abd84-7841
JG>> need is the ISO image to mount. That way it's as if the CD
JG>> was present in a drive. 

JG>> My copy of the download doesn't have the Windows files you
JG>> reference and the autorun.ini only has the HTML page. What
JG>> package did you download and from where? 

AZ> Hmmm... I couldn't get mine to run when I simply copied all
AZ> the contents of the CD to a folder on my hard drive-- the
AZ> image file may be a better bet. 

AZ> I got my copy via a BitTorrent link I saw posted on
AZ> Slashdot... the Slashdot article can be found at: 

AZ> http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/03/16/0210216&tid=185&

AZ> which includes the Torrent link. 

The way that you described the version you have was that it is
v3.8 but actually the version that executes using an emulator
for Windows is a 'custom' version. Reread the SlashDot header.
