    I'm the admin of this open-source project so I certainly have an important biais but we are using LeanPM to manage all our projects and it helps us a lot to keep track of what is going on and where we are headed. The current version is for early adopters that are not afraid of a non-automatic installation. For the other users, I would advise waiting for version 0.3 that will be available for everyone to use online.

    This solved my problem quite neatly. I had a dual booting laptop windows/ubuntu that the harddrive died on, but i really needed my windows partition back into working order. Luckly, I had a clonzilla image of the windows partition, bad news I had taken it after I had installed Ubuntu/grub. I could only install the one partition, because the only hard drive i had was half the size of the old one. Windows wouldn't boot because the linux/grub partition was gone. This CD booted right into windows without any problems, first try. Thank you so much for this. I can forsee many, many other repair situations where this could find a use. This CD will most definatly be added to my box of tools. Note to others- the use of this will require some previous computer know how, or a guideof some sort. But it is worth it because it really does work.

    I cannot thank you enough for this being avalible in a time of need.

    I found that even though it gives you the option to import Outlook PST file, that part gives you the french message and doesn't work. Select the Import Outlook option and it will now give you a choice of which folders to import. It still might import the folder structure that you deselected but only the contents of the folders you select.

    These guys are now on v3 (WNLA Lite 3) and it's smoking hot. It works out of the box. Wifi, usb, YouTube, Hulu, and the TOOLS!!! It's a pentest nirvana. All jammed under 700mb, you can "live cd" it or dual boot with windows. There's also a really helpful forum and how-to vids that want to see you succeed. For a noob like me, they solved the nix problem in that they made sure you can get on the internet FIRST so you can ask questions later.

    Mistakenly I forgot to explain that Phalanx-9.04 uses a persistent file/partition
    that must be named "phalanx-rw"
    So, when you use USB-Creator; it will make a persistent file named "casper-rw"
    To remedy this; simply rename the casper-rw or thru terminal
    cd into folder/usb containing casper-rw and issue command

    mv casper-rw phalanx-rw

    Then persistence will work off CD,USB,HDD
    Also, please re-label any persistent partition "phalanx-rw", from casper-rw

    Forgot to mention that Phalanx-9.04-LXDE comes with NetbootCD-3.1.2
    which can net-install any major distro

    and it has Plop bootmanager, that will boot your usb,usb-cdrom, etc
    even on computers that wont boot from usb,etc

    Enjoy Phalanx-9.04-LXDE!

    Well, got home and saw KNOPPIX-6.2 on distrowatch
    so got the english cd
    and burned it

    I first booted to ram off cd
    and encountered a "bug"
    well, maybe an omission of information...

    Seems when using toram option
    the usb installer quits saying it can't find /boot/isolinux/isolinux.cfg

    so, dont use toram when booting off cd if you wanna
    install frugal to usb

    I rebooted and didnt do toram
    and the usb installer worked OK!
    (note- still no graphical boot menu)

    there is also a hd installer
    doing that tomorrow....

    after initally booting off usb
    it asked if I wanted to make a persistent knoppix img
    on usb
    cool...
    I mistakenly entered 500MB and it didnt work
    although it also didnt tell me anything...

    anyway I rebooted and entered just 500
    which worked...

    So, I started customizing LXDE and got flash and some audio stuff...
    knoppix has synaptic now and is basically Debian Live...?

    heres my desktop
    http://multidistro.com/knoppix.png

    hell yeah

    anybody try it yet??

    By far my favorite Linux distro. Fits on a USB making the whole OS portable. Does take some tweaking to get a few things working; however, it is very easy to add most programs,etc... Best part is, if you make a mistake somewhere and aren't quite sure how to fix it (or can't fix it) just reinstall. You can generally reinstall and get the OS back to how you had it in about an hour or two.
