based on knoppix, it says... it looks interesting, but why not just use knoppix itself? Oh, and not to sound too stupid, but... bootable business card??   :confused:

A business card sized cdrom - give it to people and hey it's got your name and address on it.  Put it in a computer and hey it boots into Linux!  The FSF gives them away with membership, but I didn't know anyone else did...
Yesterday it worked
Today it is not working
Windows is like that

Oh ok, thanks. I think I've seen those, although I didn't know what they were at the time. These boot on ordinary CD drives? Interesting...

if a windows user put the business card in, it would boot to linux and the user would think that it is trying to destroy his computer!
