Hi John,

I know that DLS is not really a recovery disk, but I would like to have a tool called chntpw in the base iso. It is very small and has a NT registry editor built in.

Here is the link to the site. Offline NT Password There is a deb file in testing and unstable.
It seems to work well the couple of times I used it.

I have to work with a lot of NT systems every day. Some of them are not always on the network. Would it be posible to add some updated NTFS dirvers or NTFS tools that can work on the local disks? I think you have to update the kernel or load some modules. I would remaster the disk with a new kernal, but that is a bit beyond my abilities at this time.

You should see the look on my co-workers faces when I boot up a full GUI from a 50M CD.

Thanks for your efforts. They do not go unappreciated.
pvb.

I too would like a tool for winblows..

I noticed on the latest version of knoppix that there is support for NTFS writing through a script of some sort - looks like it uses the licenced drivers on the w32 machine to access it. Quite cool, and would be useful when you're cleaning up after the idiots that make 3 times your salary and can't remember a password!
