[CLUE-Tech] Poor Man's Ghost / Knoppix CD

[Joe Linux]

Do you change it with the Knoppix CD or what?  I need to be able to 
change with Knoppix, not the old system, because it is the old system 
that is "frozen" so to speak.  In otherwords, I can't boot the old 
system due to problems with the "fstab" file in the first place.  At 
least that is my assumption.
