Quick question here for any of you Knoppix fans - does Knoppix happen to have read/write support for NTFS drives? It'd be great to have a bootable distro to fix f'd up Win NT systems from :)

No distro, that I am aware of, ships with a development linux kernel that might have read/write support, none. Its not gonna happen.

Knoppix can read NTFS , but if you write to it you run risk of file corruption

Excellent, thanks guys. Without a doubt I'm a great linux fan, but my intent with Knoppix would be more support (of others) oriented. I've had past instances where Windows will not boot due to {insert multitude of reasons here} and always wished I'd be able to boot into something just to delete the offending files. Looks like this is definately worth a try :)
