This meeting is at our regular time and place. Everybody is welcome.
What: NBLUG General Meeting
Topic: System Rescue with Knoppix
Who: Kyle Rankin
When: March 8, 2005 @ 7:30PM
Where: O'Reilly and Associates, Sebastopol, CA.
Details:
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
If you (or somebody you know) might be interested in speaking to a friendly
group of 25-45 people about something related to Linux or Open Source,
please contact speakers at nblug.org.
