For any South and Central American readers. If you are looking into my KTD Project and would like help in making them, please send me an E-mail, preferably in english or translated to english, and I will try help you create the drives. If a few of you would like to send me blank 32 GB USB Thumb Drives still in their unopened original packaging I can load all the software and burn you a disk with the extra software so you can clone the drives for as many people as you want.
All I ask is that you do not sell the drives for monetary gain. If you sell them to recover your costs, I don't have a problem with that.
What I am hoping for is a College or University will get a copy of the drive and allow people to bring in a blank drive that can have the files cloned onto it. That would allow more people to get the information, which is freely available on the internet and the World Wide Web, and doesn't have anything to do anything secret or of dangerous nature.
I started this project to make it so people can learn to help themselves and others.
My e-mail Address is over on the right, under where it says "Send a Missive" Please use the greylocke address, I only check the other address once a week.
I am working on a further modification of the KTD Project which will involve an inexpensive 7" Touch Screen, Generic Chinese Android Tablet and a 32 GB Micro SD card. The new project will have the same CD3WD Files, the same Extra Files, and hopefully a lot more. If you are interested in helping on the newest version of the KTD Project please send me an E-mail. I can use the help in selecting the necessary files, to try to make it as complete as possible and as informative and helpful as possible.
When the newest project is complete, I will try to make an .ISO of all the files, then I will need help seeding the files for people to be able to download the Torrents of it. If a College or University could host the files on one of their servers, it would make it much easier for more people to get the files so they can just make their own without having to go through me to get the files.
Once again, I'm not in this to make any financial gain. Only to help people. This is my way of volunteering since I can no longer physically do it.

Para cualquier lector del Sur y América Central. Si
usted está buscando en mi proyecto KTD y quisiera ayuda en la toma de
ellos, por favor envíeme un correo electrónico, preferentemente en
Inglés o traducido a Inglés , y voy a tratar de ayudar a crear las
unidades. Si
algunos de ustedes les gustaría que me envíe en blanco 32 GB unidades
USB aún en su embalaje original sin abrir puedo cargar todo el software y
grabar un disco con el software adicional para poder clonar las
unidades para tantas personas como desee .
Lo único que pido es que usted no vende las unidades para la ganancia monetaria. Si usted los vende para recuperar sus costos , no tengo ningún problema con eso .
Lo
que estoy esperando es un colegio o universidad recibirán una copia de
la unidad y permitir a la gente a traer un coche blanco que puede tener
los archivos clonados en la misma. Eso permitiría que más personas obtengan la información , que está
disponible gratuitamente en Internet y la World Wide Web , y no tiene
nada que hacer cualquier cosa secreta o de naturaleza peligrosa .
Empecé este proyecto para que sea que la gente pueda aprender a ayudarse a sí mismos ya los demás.
Mi e- mail es de más a la derecha, debajo de donde dice " Envía una
misiva " Por favor, utilice la dirección greylocke , sólo compruebo la
otra dirección una vez a la semana .
Estoy
trabajando en una modificación adicional del Proyecto KTD que implicará
un barato 7 "pantallas táctiles , genérico chino Android Tablet y una
tarjeta de 32 GB Micro SD. El nuevo proyecto tendrá la misma Archivos
CD3WD , los mismos archivos extra , y es de esperar mucho
más. Si usted está interesado en ayudar en la versión más reciente del
Proyecto KTD por favor envíame un e -mail . puedo utilizar la ayuda en
la selección de los archivos necesarios , para tratar de que sea lo más
completa posible y lo más informativo y más útil posible .
Cuando
el proyecto más reciente es completa, voy a tratar de hacer una . ISO
de todos los archivos , a continuación, voy a necesitar la ayuda de la
siembra de los archivos para que la gente será capaz de descargar los
torrentes de ella. Si un colegio o universidad podrían alojar los archivos en uno de sus
servidores , sería mucho más fácil para más personas para obtener los
archivos por lo que sólo pueden hacer su propio sin tener que pasar a
través de mí para obtener los archivos .
Una vez más , no estoy en esto para hacer cualquier ganancia financiera. Sólo para ayudar a la gente . Esta es mi forma de voluntariado desde que puedo hacer ya no físicamente.

Для будь-яких українських читачів. Якщо ви шукаєте в моєму проекті KTD і хотів би допомогти у прийнятті їх, будь ласка , надішліть мені електронною поштою , бажано англійською мовою або в перекладі на англійську мову , і я постараюся допомогти вам створити диски. Якщо деякі з вас хотіли б відправити мені порожні 32 ГБ USB флеш- накопичувачі все ще в їх закритій упаковці я можу завантажити все програмне забезпечення і записати вам диск з додатковим програмним забезпеченням , щоб ви могли клонувати диски для стількох людей , скільки ви хочете .
Все, що я прошу , це вам не продати диски для грошової вигоди. Якщо ви продаєте їх , щоб відновити ваші витрати , у мене немає проблем з цим.
Те , що я сподіваюся на це коледж чи університет отримає копію диска і дозволяють людям , щоб принести в порожній диск , який може мати файли клонованих на нього. Це дозволило б більше людей , щоб отримати інформацію , яка знаходиться у вільному доступі в Інтернеті і всесвітній павутині , і не має нічого спільного нічого секретного або небезпечного характеру .
Я почав цей проект , щоб зробити його , щоб люди могли навчитися допомагати собі та іншим .
Моя адреса електронної пошти становить більше праворуч , під якою він говорить : "Відправити послання " Будь ласка , використовуйте адресу greylocke , я тільки перевірити іншу адресу раз на тиждень.
Я працюю на подальшої модифікації KTD проекту , який включатиме недорогий 7 " сенсорний екран , Generic китайський планшетний Android і карту пам'яті 32 ГБ Micro. Новий проект буде мати той же CD3WD файли , ті ж додаткові файли, і , сподіваюся , набагато більше. Якщо ви зацікавлені в допомозі за новітньою версією KTD проекту будь ласка , надішліть мені електронною поштою. Я можу використовувати допомогу у виборі необхідних файлів , щоб спробувати зробити це якомога більш повної і максимально інформативним і був максимально корисним.
Коли новий проект буде завершений , я постараюся зробити . ISO всіх файлів , то я буду потрібна допомога посіву файли для людей , щоб мати можливість скачати торренти його . Якщо коледж чи університет може розмістити файли на одному зі своїх серверів , було б зробити це набагато простіше для більше людей , щоб отримати файли , щоб вони могли просто зробити самостійно , без необхідності проходити через мене , щоб отримати файли.
Ще раз , я не в цьому , щоб зробити будь-якої фінансової вигоди. Тільки , щоб допомогти людям . Це мій спосіб добровольчества , так як я більше не може фізично це зробити.
Є багато інших країн і мов я міг би перекладені це , але українська, російська та чеська є три найбільших з них я міг думати. Будь ласка, не ображайтеся , якщо я не включив свою мову. Ні образу чи невелике не призначений.

Для любых российских читателей . Если вы ищете в моем проекте KTD и хотел бы помочь в принятии их , пожалуйста, пришлите мне по электронной почте , желательно на английском языке или в переводе на английский язык , и я постараюсь помочь вам создать диски. Если некоторые из вас хотели бы отправить мне пустые 32 ГБ USB флэш-накопители все еще в их закрытой упаковке я могу загрузить все программное обеспечение и записать вам диск с дополнительным программным обеспечением , чтобы вы могли клонировать диски для стольких людей, сколько вы хотите .
Все, что я прошу, это вам не продать диски для денежной выгоды . Если вы продаете их , чтобы восстановить ваши расходы , у меня нет проблем с этим .
То, что я надеюсь на это колледж или университет получит копию диска и позволяют людям , чтобы принести в пустой диск, который может иметь файлы клонированных на него. Это позволило бы больше людей , чтобы получить информацию , которая находится в свободном доступе в Интернете и всемирной паутине , и не имеет ничего общего ничего секретного или опасного характера .
Я начал этот проект , чтобы сделать его , чтобы люди могли научиться помогать себе и другим .
Мой адрес электронной почты составляет более справа , под которой он говорит: " Отправить послание " Пожалуйста, используйте адрес greylocke , я только проверить другой адрес раз в неделю.
Я работаю на дальнейшей модификации KTD проекта , который будет включать недорогой 7 "сенсорный экран , Generic китайский планшетный Android и карту памяти 32 ГБ Micro . Новый проект будет иметь тот же CD3WD файлы , те же дополнительные файлы , и, надеюсь, намного больше. Если вы заинтересованы в помощи по новейшей версии KTD проекта пожалуйста, пришлите мне по электронной почте . Я могу использовать помощь в выборе необходимых файлов , чтобы попытаться сделать это как можно более полной и максимально информативным и был максимально полезным .
Когда новый проект будет завершен, я постараюсь сделать . ISO всех файлов , то я буду нужна помощь посева файлы для людей , чтобы иметь возможность скачать торренты его. Есликолледж или университет может разместить файлы на одном из своих серверов , было бы сделать это намного проще для больше людей , чтобы получить файлы , чтобы они могли просто сделать самостоятельно, без необходимости проходить через меня , чтобы получить файлы .
Еще раз , я не в этом, чтобы сделать любой финансовой выгоды . Только , чтобы помочь людям . Это мой способ добровольчества , так как я больше не может физически это сделать.

Pokudněkteré z vás by chtěl , aby mi poslal prázdné 32GB USB flash disky stále v neotevřeném originálním balení můžu nahrát veškerý software a vypálit si disk s extra software, takže můžete klonovat disky pro co nejvíce lidí , jak chcete, .
Vše, co žádám , je, že nemusíte prodávat disky pro peněžní zisk . Prodáváte-li je obnovit vaše náklady , nemám s tím problém .
Co jsem doufal, že jevysoká škola nebo univerzita bude mít kopii disku a umožnit lidem , aby se v prázdném disku, které mohou mít soubory klonovaných na něj . To by umožnilo více lidí , aby se informace , které jsou volně k dispozici na internetu a World Wide Web , a nemá nic společného nic tajného nebo nebezpečné povahy .

KTD Project - UPDATED go to end of post
KTD stands for Knoppix Thumb Drive. I am slowly piecing together a bootable thumb drive with a variety of information which should be helpful in an emergency.
First you need to get 32gb thumb drive and format it with a FAT 16 or FAT 32 file system.
Then download a Knoppix Live CD. I use the Adriane Knoppix found here:
http://www.knopper.net/knoppix/knoppix60-en.html
Then you need to use UNETBOOTIN to install the ISO of Knoppix to the USB Drive or SD card and make it bootable. UNETBOOTIN can be found here:
http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/
Once you have that done you will need to download and install Bit Torrent if you don't already have a Torrent program. Bit torrent can be found here:
http://www.bittorrent.com/downloads
Now you need to download the Torrent for the CD3WD files which is found here:
http://legaltorrent.net/download.php?id=210
Now the whole set of files is almost 16GB so if you are on dial up I don't recommend you try to download it. You can order a set of disks which I would recommend.
Once you download the files you will have 4 ISO files which need to be burned to disc. So you will need to have a DVD Burner and a program like ISO Burner or ISO Buster if you don't have an optical drive, such as if you have a netbook. Once they are either burned to disc or your hard drive, run the install program to extract the files to your hard drive. Be sure you have enough room, these files are over 25GB when fully extracted.
Once all the files are fully extracted copy them to your KTD thumb drive or SD card.
Now to use this drive as is, you will need to make a change in your computers BIOS to tell it to boot from the USB or the SD card. On many computers you will hit the F1, F2 or F10 key during boot to enter setup. Check which part of the setup allow you to change the Boot sequence and change the setting so it will look for the USB or SD drive before the hard drive. Once you have made the changes hit F10 to save your changes then exit. Insert your USB Thumb Drive or SD Card into the card reader and reboot the system.
After the Knoppix Penguin splash screen you will see the login. Type knoppix and hit enter and the system will load the graphical knoppix interface. If you don't after a timeout it will lad the adriane text/audio version of knoppix. I use the adriane as my eyesight has been deteriorating over the last few years and I want every advantage I can get.
Once Knoppix is fully loaded it operates very much like windows. On the desktop you will see a folder named knoppix. Click on it, just one you don't need to double click unless you change the settings then click on the CD3WD folder, scroll down and click on START.BAT to load the files for use. You might have to tell knoppix to use ICEWEASEL to view the files. But that's it.
If the computer you are using is hard wired to a router or modem you should also have internet access as well. If it is on a wireless connection you will have to configure the connection so make sure you have the network password.
Now for some screen shots and some further work I am doing on this project.
Clicking on the files will load them. You can right click and open in a new window, and knoppix has it's own version of a PDF viewer so you can read PDF files as well at HTML and regular text files.
Now I also have about another 14GB of files on my computer ranging from military field manuals covering everything from field sanitation , emergency surgery to construction, electrical wiring and explosives. I'm going through my files getting rid of the old superseded files and putting them together in proper directories with a small modicum of thought and I will be adding them to the thumb drive as well.
Also as a HAM radio operator I am adding some HAM specific programs such as programs for digital and packet communications.
My thumb drives, yes I said drives, as I am making extras for my oldest kids fit easily on my keyring. So anywhere I go I will have a vast knowledge base that I can tap at need. If something does happen as long as I can find a bootable computer, even if it doesn't have a working hard drive I can access this information. If I install this n a 32GB microSD card I can keep it in my cellphone and if I need it I can put it in an adapter and then use it to boot a computer with a SD card reader.
So what say you? Are you willing to spend a few hours putting together something which can help you just in case?
UPDATE: A few commenters over at Say Uncle raise some points.
Bill I think misses the point of this.This drive is a complete reference library. It contains over 600 texts in the CD3WD files alone. Plus I am adding several hundred other texts, Military training manuals, off-line web pages I've accumulated over the years and other information that could be vital if there is a large scale disruption.
This drive is small, my pill container on my keychain is bigger. So far I've used this drive to boot over 30 computers, laptops and netbooks.I can't guarantee that in an emergency I'll have a good computer, but even if all I have is a junky old thinkpad, as long as the BIOS supports booting from USB, I have access to this information. No battery for the computer? There are work arounds, a DC to DC adapter like the one that plugs into the lighter socket of my truck, delivers enough power to run my old thinkpad 600E or my friends HP Netbook. The point is you will have the information available and can take it with you anywhere.
And Bill, no offense but I'd much rather carry this drive than to try to carry my entire library which currently inhabits five 7X5 oak bookcases and dozens of boxes. When I moved last time I used over half of large U-haul truck just for my books not including the bookcases. Also the Emergency Medical texts are kid of hard to practice beforehand, unless you intend on injuring someone just so you can practice those skills.
I have zipped together the torrents for the CD3WD files, Adriane Knoppix, and PDF for using Knoppix and a text file with all the links you may need to create your own KTD.
The link to the file is:
http://www.filefactory.com/file/1ama6ustymgd/n/KTD_Project_torrents_zip
The file is 3.17 MB most of it is the PDF file for Knoppix. So if you want to have a back up to your paper books that you can take with you anywhere, download the file and then start downloading the main files.
And one thing people like Bill miss. you don't NEED to boot into Knoppix to use the files. It still is a thumb drive and you can just plug it in and use it on any computer.
Isn't having a backup worth some piece of mind?
The project now has it's own separate page here the link is: Knoppix Thumb Drive Links and Instructions

November 6th, 2012 at 1:12 am If we are talking text, (books and such), put it into Kindle format and save it on their e-reader Kindle. Turn off the WiFi and you can be reading those books around the campfire a month after the collapse of the power grid before you will need to hit up a power source to recharge.
November 6th, 2012 at 7:22 am If you got kids, bring the games and the music they love. Don’t underestimate morale. Isabelle and Irene taught me to remember the quiet moments in between (power). I loved Isabelle – I was single and had the time to sit in an empty house and just read every book I could find until the sun went down.
Now I got generators, a wife and kids. So when this recent storm threatened, I made sure the old notebooks and portable DVD players we going to work for the little ones.
I also piled up some books, just in case I got two minutes to myself. But I haven’t had that in years.
November 6th, 2012 at 10:06 am Dumb idea. Better to have it on paper. What happens if none of the devices you plan on using still work? What if the batteries run down and you don’t have the means to recharge them?
Even better is to actually practice the techniques ahead of time, so that you don’t need a reference.
November 6th, 2012 at 10:20 am Or, you know, do both. The thumb drive/e-reader option is a whole heck of a lot more portable than a half-dozen (or more) paper books, so if bugging out becomes necessary you can still have all that knowledge with you. It’s also more convenient and easily searchable. But if your electronics are unusable, you still have the paper copies as a backup.
Not every technique is easily practiced often enough to remain reliably doable without a reference, and some TEOTWAWKI survival skills are esoteric enough even to the well-prepared person that reviewing your reference manual before attempting it is a good idea.
