Having once, many years ago, through my own stupidity and arrogance, rendered an IBM mainframe, and all admin systems - including payroll, unusable for more time than was comfortable, I can see the value of having an independant method of accessing yer data. Knoppix looks like it may well be a valuable standby for windoze, and, who knows, it may, perhaps, one day, become the primary OS on my laptop. (I do enjoy playing with new toys).
Unfortunately, your advice to dl (which I interpret as download) a copy of the OS appears to be a less than trivial task. Although I have located many mirror sites, those I have tried appear to have broken or inoperative links. Thus far, using command line FTP has been less than fruitful. So, can you recommend a working site?
And no - my earlier adventure did not result in a P45. The debrief session could be described as "interesting"
but productive.
