[debian-knoppix] NTFS writing

["Digital Infra, Inc." <okajima@digitalinfra.co.jp>]

Hello Great Hackers.

It is very glad that Knopper seems to decide using "captive" for KNOPPIX.

We had been developing same thing.
What we did are basically two things.

  1.   booting KNOPPIX with c:\KNOPPIX\KNOPPIX.iso on NTFS partition.
  2.   writing "Virtual FDD" on NTFS partition.

For 1, You would need no explanation.
It was easily done with loop back mount.
Only tips are using NTFS driver 2.x.
NTFS driver 1.x does not support loop back function.

For 2, we used same way.
We made 1.44MB file on NTFS by native Windows
and did mount it with loop back.
By using VFAT format, it can be mounted from Windows by FILEDISK.exe

Of course, what we have done is just a very alpha level trial
and it needs more improvement if you want to use it practically.

We will add this function to KNOPPIX someday,
Even Knopper seems to add better way.
And we want any suggestion from you.
Is it really useful?
Isn't there any other (and better) way to do same thing?

             Best Regards, Okajima, Jun.
