What does ellipses at the start of your every posting mean? By definition, it's omission or suppression of parts of words or sentences, but I don't see anything omitted or suppressed. Just curious.
in addition to the numerous home boxes i maintain (which, BTW, are running different distros), i also administer many other boxes out in the real world. so, for *me*, knoppix is my swiss-army knife of Linux utility CD distro :))
In real life, I have to administer 100+ RedHat boxes and my swiss-army knife to fix a non-booting system is SuSE CD1
if i were to only work on suse boxen, then maybe the suse CD#1 boot method would be appropriate, but in my case, knoppix works for all
Just to confirm, in my case, SuSE CD1 works for all

There are some excellent tools out there, I carry both knoppix and timos rescuecd, the latter boots much quicker than knoppix and loads into memory and so is faster when dealing with slow boxen and crud like laptops that need repair. At home when I have a down box, I boot knoppix and get straight to work. I've downloaded MandrakeMove beta CDROM which allows you to use the CDROM once it's loaded, like you can with timos rescuecd. I also hope to download the mepis 2 CD set and give that a try - in an article yesterday, a unashamed Mandrake hater was giving it praise as the only Mandrake based distro he ever liked. That's the beauty of Linux, there is always something that fits whatever you need with just a few CD's all bases are covered. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ....
