[Mmmm]Homer March 3, 2004 Share [Mmmm]Homer Member March 3, 2004 That's right, no installation, it runs off a CD. Looks great for getting familiar with Linux in general and system recovery. I'm going to download it and keep it handy so I can look at and back up systems where Windows has nuked itself. It does not anything on to your hard drive (unless you want it to) and does not modify you Windows install in any way. So it's safe to put on any system!

Birdman March 3, 2004 Share Birdman Member March 3, 2004 A buddy of mine that lives here in the dorm was telling me bout it last week. Good thing to have round. Good way to test your network security too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwEEziL March 14, 2004 Share dwEEziL Member March 14, 2004 I was in a wireless security seminar just last week and we got a CD with a bunch of security tools on it. The CD also boots to a version of Knoppix. It is called Helix and has been modified slightly (the X Windows menus are tailored to the security tools). On of the tools, Kismet, lets you sniff wireless networks, even ones that aren't broadcasting their existence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All Kill3r March 15, 2004 Share All Kill3r Member March 15, 2004 ha i lived on 1st street for a year and loved it.... had 7-11 and mike pizza in rock throwing distance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwEEziL March 15, 2004 Share dwEEziL Member March 15, 2004 I hated it cuz the guy who lived next door to me had at least 1 house party a week (usually 2-4) and his house was on the side my bedroom was. Since the commute to work was long, it was a pain trying to get to sleep. Besides that, it was a great place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, it took about 3 minutes to load on my system and gives a genuine Linux experience for a very small comittment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Playaa April 8, 2004 Share Playaa Member April 8, 2004 actually I was in the process of downloading it...FINALLY found a quick download from one of their 40 mirrors that barely works on their website...but then my computer freaked out and I had to reboot... I'll get it tomorrow when I'm at work (because that's the only place I have blank cd's) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOFX April 8, 2004 Share NOFX Member April 8, 2004 FINALLY found a quick download from one of their 40 mirrors that barely works on their website... yea that was my problem, finally found a fast one from Va Tech. burning it to CD now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Mmmm]Homer April 9, 2004 Author Share [Mmmm]Homer Member April 9, 2004 Hmm, when I downloaded it the speed seemed fine, like 800k or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOFX April 9, 2004 Share NOFX Member April 9, 2004 (edited) When I try to boot, I get hung at AGP detected. I let it sit there and eventually my CD stops spinning. I did a checksum against the iso and it matched the number in their md5sum txt file. So I know the iso is good. I guess it doesnt support a 9500 pro?

dwEEziL April 9, 2004 Share dwEEziL Member April 9, 2004 If you still need it, the CD I was giving was put together for the seminar by the speaker. It isn't a commercial copy. The "name" of this particular Knoppix image is called "Helix" and is geared toward security and forensic. I will burn an ISO of it if I remember and put it up for you to download.

Playaa April 9, 2004 Share Playaa Member April 9, 2004 wow, so this would be alot easier had I not downloaded from a GERMAN MIRROR! I go through the whole thing, and eventually figure out that when it says "boot:" that you don't type anything...just hit enter... anyway...get to the visual OS and EVERYTHING IS GERMAN! luckily I know that "Ja" means "Yes" and "Nein" means "No" or I would have had trouble even shutting down. pardon me while I go download ANOTHER 700mbs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
