Customizing Linux boot cd with with ntfs support

[Matt Beal]

Knoppix 5 support ntfs writes even on WinXP SP2. So, this is a very good
start.  Now, I will only need to use the same kernel as Knoppix and
choose the modules that best fit.  I mean, I really don't need any (no
GUI, no NIC, etc) just need the kernel to boot and a script to run
(mount the ntfs, mkdir /destination, cp the xxxx.exe to the
/destination, exit)

Everything I hear seems to be iffy. Some people say that at times you
can hose the ntfs fs by writing to it. I would definitely image any
partition or HD I was going to do this to, for safety's sake.

I'm not sure how well NTFS write works in Linux (I haven't tried it in
quite a while).  KNOPPIX include Captive NTFS which supposedly loads the

NT/2k/XP ntfs.sys driver and uses that for writing, but I never got that
to work.  As I understand it, Captive NTFS is no longer maintained but
there are other NTFS write options.
