Project 10: Recover from Windows Disasters with Knoppix 111
You can then work with the files and folders on the key or drive much as you
would in a Windows Explorer window on Windows. For example, to copy a file or
folder, right-click it and choose Copy. You can then right-click the folder in which you
want to paste the file or folder, and choose Paste to paste it.
When you have finished using the USB drive, unmount it from the file system before
you detach it from the PC. Right-click the drive??™s icon on the desktop and choose
Unmount. You can then safely remove the drive from your PC.
Connect to Your Network and the Internet
If you have a broadband Internet connection, you should be able to get Knoppix to
connect to the Internet easily by choosing suitable settings for your PC??™s network
adapter. This is handy for when you need to download patches or update files to fix
Windows or run a virus check on Windows.
If you have a network with a typical setup, when you connect to the Internet, you can also
connect to any shared drives on your network. For example, you may need to copy files from
another computer on the network to the PC on which you have booted Knoppix.
Set Up a Network Connection or Broadband Connection
To connect to your network, and thus to connect to the Internet via a broadband
connection shared via the network, follow these steps:
Click the Knoppix icon (the penguin) on the quick-launch bar and choose
Network/Internet | Network Card Configuration.
