I was looking for a 64-bit Linux live cd (or dvd) - a dvd bootable linux 
that can access my windows ntfs volumes but does not make any changes to hdd 
(like, e.g, repartition the disk).

Something like knoppix but for 64-bit intel pc. I'd like to try some 64-bit 
Linux programs vs. 32 bit Windows XP.

Now, is the opensuse 11 live cd what I am looking for? Or does one have to 
boot from live-cd and then install linux?

Then, with opensuse there seems to be a problem with changes to BIOS. If it 
is just the bios date-time that is changed - no problem. But if the cd 
should manipulate the frequency/timings of cpu and memory - ouch! I cannot 
imagine it does, but safe is safe, so I'll ask here before I have to go 
hunting for the reset-bios jumper ;-)

Has anybody here experience with the live-cd?

Since I am not much into linux I'd appreciate any help / suggestions.
