Knoppix is a full operating system and even includes the OpenOffice.org program
suite (which includes a word processor, a spreadsheet program, and a presentations
program), so it can take care of most of your computing needs. However, in this project
we look only at how to use Knoppix to recover files from a Windows computer
that??™s having problems.
Step 2: Download Knoppix and Burn Your Recovery CD
First, download the latest version of Knoppix and burn it to CD.
If you have a slow Internet connection, you may prefer to order a Knoppix CD or DVD from a
vendor such as On-Disk.com (http://on-disk.com). You??™ll find a full list of these vendors on the
Knoppix web site. The cost is typically around $10 U.S. including delivery.
Download the Latest Knoppix CD
Steer your web browser to the Knoppix web site (www.knoppix.com), and then click
the Download link. This link takes you to a page where you can choose to download
Knoppix via BitTorrent or Emule or via HTTP or FTP from a mirror site. (A mirror site is
a site that hosts files on behalf of other web sites to make them more widely available.)
There are two main distributions of Knoppix: a CD distribution (which is the one
you most likely want) and a DVD distribution, which is far larger and contains many
more programs and tools. Unless you have an extremely fast Internet connection,
downloading the DVD distribution will take all night, whereas you should be able to
download the CD distribution via a DSL or cable connection in less than two hours.
