I'm trying to track down something I swear I didn't dream up, but now am not so sure. \r\n\r\n Knoppix, LNX-BBC, Tom's Root/Boot, etc., are all bootable Linux systems which run resident in memory and/or from a CDROM, without touching the hard disk. \r\n\r\n I think I remember hearing about a similar concept coming from a French company, possibly, that does much the same thing except under MS Windows. It's a product they offer, not sure of terms...but the Google footprint (ten minutes+ of searching) is absolutely nil. \r\n\r\n ...unless someone can prove me wrong. \r\n\r\n TIA --\r\nKarsten M.

Stupidity. Whatever.\r\n \r\n Keep software free. Oppose the CBDTPA.

Possible that it's been pulled and googlewiped, as there seems to be no freakin' trace of it. Pity. --\r\nKarsten M.

All you get is a DOS 7 boot and batch file to run the imaging process though. "A civilian gang of thieving lobbyists for the military industrial complex is running the White House.
