To give credit where credit is due, Jason Tower was the one who
suggested Knoppix.  But I agree it's cool and I would have suggested
this too expect he beat me to it.    However, if you'll read the rest of
this thread you will see that the OS only seeing "286 Gigs" vs "300 Gig"
is due to using different units.  :-)  It's fully expected, and a way to
minimize confusing would be to use the GiB unit designator instead (read
my post.)
