Most any of the livecd distros should work. I have a LindowsCD that I use for this very thing...boot from CD, configure networking, transfer files from the hdd to another machine on the LAN.

I have never used Knoppix before, so I would a bit of a learning curve to climb. But, would I be able to boot Knoppix (BIOS allows CDROM booting), mount the hdd and transfer any and all info I want to my server via a pcmcia lan card? --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?
