Well, the problem I have with not having a hard drive is I'm not able to save anything I'm working on. However, my Knoppix disks are on CD-R. Maybe if I put them on CD-RWs, I can save some of my work - I mean, it's worth a try.
As of now, whatever I would like to save I end up transferring via email to my account, then downloading on the XP side. It's a PITA for several reasons - one being the whole "save as" issue in Microsoft Word from Office.org. Plus, I don't like my work going out into cyberspace.
Then, of course, when working off a live CD like Knoppix 3.6, one ends up re-entering all their values like email addressing and peripheral set up like printers, etc.
Otherwise, if one can deal with all that, Knoppix 3.6 is terrific. In my case, I guess I'm just going to have to install it permanently on a real hard drive.
