Needed to copy some files from someones Windows 2000 box but they were away. How to do it?
- Boot PC with knoppix
- mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1
- CD to desired directory
- Use rsync to copy files to server
Job done. Passwords? Who cares?
The boot didn't go so smoothly, it seemed to have problems with the sound adapter and X wouldn't boot properly. I got tired of waiting for X so I pressed ALT-F4 to get a login console and did it in text mode. I really should be memorising the boot option for a runlevel without X.
Repeat after me:
knoppix 2
