--If only M$ didn't force such a godawful, incompatible filesystem to be the default... :P I recently helped a friend reinstall XP for a client and we switched her from NTFS to FAT32 - and it sped up the system! Also, now we can do linux-based backups and restores on her system.

I routinely download new ISO's and just extract the big compressed image
to C:\KNOPPIX\KNOPPIX. Has worked for 5 or 6 releases so far.
I really enjoy such simple upgrades to the latest and greatest.
Combined with persistent home and configs, this is amazingly smooth.

Oh well, that'll come in time. Knoppix as it is is already a godsend!
Let us know whether the kernel bump was the issue.
