When: Wednesday, September 6th.
Food start: 6pm
Talk start: 7pm
Topic: System Recovery with Knoppix
Location: O'Reilly in Sebastopol (see URL for map)

Knoppix is a complete Linux distribution that runs directly from CD. One of
its most popular uses is as a rescue and recovery CD since it includes a
wide range of incredibly flexible tools to fix a computer that won't boot.

In this talk Kyle will discuss a number of different system recovery
scenarios and how to use Knoppix (or another live CD) to restore both Linux
and Windows systems. Among the recovery scenarios, Kyle will cover:

    * Restoring the Linux boot loader
    * Recreating the partition table from scratch
    * Imaging hard drives, including drives with failures
    * Collecting forensics data on compromised systems
    * Scanning Windows systems for viruses
    * Editing the Windows registry from Knoppix
    * Others

Kyle is the author of Knoppix Hacks, a member of the SoCoSA board and
NBLUG's president.
