[TriLUG] Best Live CD?

[Maarten Lippmann]

Although knoppix uses isolinux to boot, it still contains a version of
grub to do just what you want.
Just run "knoppix 3" when it boots, mount your /boot partition and run
grub with the command grub ;) and do your magic.

"Is 't noodlot, dat ick vall', van eere en staet berooft,
Laet vallen, als ick vall', met deze kroone op 't hooft,
Dien scepter in de vuist, dien eersleip van vertrouden,
En zoo veel duizenden als onze zyde houden.
Dat valle streckt tot eer, en onverwelckbren lof:
En liever d' eerste Vorst in eenigh laeger hof,
Dan in 't gezalight licht de tweede, of noch een minder
Zoo troost ick my de kans, en vrees nu leet noch hinder."
