... The machine I am using to write this note is Lotus on XP with Knoppix as my second boot using FAT32 in iso format. I don't even use any of the Unix file system. I can manage all of my Windows files from Knoppix.
I never thought that anybody uses XP on FAT32 _and_ Linux also. I use NTFS for XP and ext3 or xfs for Linux.
I use lilo but have tried and works with GAG. And yes, Knoppix uses initrd (mini Linux to boot Knoppix). I have also tried with Grub successfully. My point is still valid, Knoppix got a bunch of tools for managing my WinXP machine when it gets into trouble. All I do, ask customer to reboot into Knoppix and then I can take over with VNC or SSH.
If you install on FAT32, yes.
... The reason I am very excited about the 1_CD SuSE is because I can use it a fall back system when my main SuSE system on a server gets in trouble. I know I got a plan B that is not taking a lot of HD space.

... Knoppix, SuSE, etc are not ready for prime time desktop.
We are on the way...Compare a SuSE 6.0 distro to 10.0.
Not because of technology but because most customers insist on Windows. ...
Sadly, I must agree. But this is changing. More and more people mention that the Microsoft monoculture is a problem. -- mdc
