Just boot up knoppix, mount root partition that contains dcfldd, go to |
| 10 |
wherever the executable is located (e.g. /usr/bin/dcfldd): |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
1. boot up knoppix |
| 13 |
2. create a partition: mkdir /work |
| 14 |
3. mount /work to the root partition: mount /dev/sdc /work |
| 15 |
4. cd /work/usr/bin |
| 16 |
5. run dcfldd: ./dcfldd |
| 17 |

If your root partition is encrypted (e.g. mine is), then place a copy of |
| 19 |
dcfldd on the boot partition; no boot partition, put a copy on its own |
| 20 |
dedicated little partition. |
| 21 |

Of course, you can always put a copy on a USB jumpdrive. As a last |
| 23 |
alternative, download and compile a copy while in knoppix. |

Sure, but the running disk/sector would have temporary files that would |
| 29 |
not consistently hash when you did the hash check. If you do this, try |
| 30 |
it in linux without bringing up X. This might avoid copying some software |
| 31 |
"locks" that could block startup on the copied disk/sector. |
