[NBLUG/Announce] General Meeting (2005/03/08): System Rescue with Knoppix

[Kyle Rankin]

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.
