Re: un Knopix , PHLAK or other bootable linux from Hard drive.

[Eliah Kagan <degeneracypressure () gmail com>]

That's not running Knoppix from your hard drive. That's virtualizing a
virtual machine and running Knoppix from the virtual machine's virtual
CD drive. If your goal is a quick and easy GNU/Linux system,
especially for security testing or technical support, that's a good
way to do it.

All your network traffic, though, will be going through the host
system by being either routed or bridged, and if that host system is
Windows, which you seem to be suggesting by your mention of Nero,
Alcohol, and Microsoft Virtual PC, then that begs the question of why
you don't just use your Windows system to do the testing.

If, on the other hand, your goal is to run Knoppix from a hard disk as
normally as possible, then that's a terrible and unnecessary kludge.
You can just install Knoppix on a hard disk:
