Hi Steve. Or pile everything on a thumb/pen/flash drive, and just let
KDE automount it for the standard Knoppix Live CD, too. Then, no HD
would be required at all, and a couple of spare flash drives would
avoid most catastrophes. Also, there is some kind of a find thing'ie
in Knoppix that if a certain file exists when the CD boots, it will
run the script.
