Be sure not to write to NT filesystems, AFAIK that is destructive

With captive-ntfs, it is not destructive in my experience. The more difficult problem is finding a convenient way, after booting, to rapidly get things configured properly so that Apache will serve out the thing (on localhost presumably), which probably means copying a replacement httpd.conf or whatnot into place (i.e., into the /etc subtree on the RAM-based filesystem) and (re)starting Apache.

But yes, it should be possible to do this with Knoppix.


"In adjectives, with the addition of inflectional endings, a changeable long vowel (Qamets or Tsere) in an open, propretonic syllable will reduce to Vocal Shewa. This type of change occurs when the open, pretonic syllable of the masculine singular adjective becomes propretonic with the addition of inflectional endings."  — Pratico & Van Pelt, BBHG, p68
