Re: Removing TOR from Registry

["Ringo Kamens" <2600denver@xxxxxxxxx>]

I didn't actually "image" the information persay. I just booted up into knoppix (knoppix.org), which you'll need a high-speed connection to download (or a lot of time) and a CD-burner with software such as ISOMAGIC. Once booted into knoppix, just go into the root shell and type this: (assming this is your sys info, you may have to edit the command. You will need to have enough space to back-up your entire computer. If you don't try TARring the data

mount -rw /dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1

 

Then, use the other command for wherever you will copy the data assuming it's a different drive. Then just use the cp command to copy everything. Complicated? Yes. Security isn't free.

       The better tactic might be to disable privoxy filtering then,

        directories are removed from Program Files, Application Data,
        and Local Settings.
