A knoppix distribution for troubleshooting bad windows systems.
This would include tools like fdisk, dd (which are already on knoppix) and some other scripts specifically designed for troubleshooting a crashed windows system. For instance, a script that assumes that hard disks are windows format (fat, vfat, ntfs, etc), uses dd to make backups, and tries to make intelligent fixes using fdisk.-- lawpoop, Aug 05 2003 Knoppix website http://www.knoppix.net/find our more about Knoppix here. [lawpoop, Oct 04 2004] I prefer throwing my ideas out to halfbakery. Some enterprising linux engineer is bound to wade through the mounds of crap on this site and implement my half-baked idea!-- lawpoop, Aug 05 2003 Well, I figure I'll let the halfbaked community tell me how they like this idea.
If I get some crossaints, then I will tell the Knoppix community.
But usually, I find that programmers are not receptive to implementing other people's ideas. That's why I prefer posting to halfbakery.com. I can't really implement this idea at all.-- lawpoop, Aug 05 2003 Programmers rip off other people's ideas all the time. Just tell them you have already done this, and they'll reverse engineer it.
P.S. How about a link explaining what Knoppix is, exactly.-- DrCurry, Aug 05 2003 Here's your link, Curry, fresh as a hot croissant!
Why do other halfbakers chide me for not googling my ideas first, but then always ask for links to things I haven't already explained?-- lawpoop, Aug 05 2003 random, halfbakery
