I attended a conference earlier this year where a presenter used 
sysrescuecd to do all kinds of amazing things.  His presumption was that 
everyone knew every command he did, and he breezed through all the steps 
for recovering files, using gparted, etc with lightening speed with the 
promise of a follow-up email with all the commands.  The email never 
materialized.  I'm left to my own devices.  I'm especially interested in 
resizing partitions, recovering lost files, re-setting passwords.  You 
mention knoppix; do you have any recommendations as to it vs 
systemresuecd?  I saw a Knoppix for dummies book at barnes and noble this 
weekend, but held off buying it.  Your response to the "clonzilla" thread 
reminded me to ask.

tnx
