Linux live with NTFS support

Could anyone tip me about a Linux live distro that supports NTFS and loads it directly when started?

well, pretty any distro is able to read NTFS, just writing is a problem.
nerdz is right, Knoppix is able to do this, but I am not sure if captive-ntfs (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captive_NTFS) is still part of Knoppix or if you have to install it manually.....there have been some copyright troubles a while ago (NTFS is copyright protected by guess who..

).
Puppy Linux seems to have full NTFS access: http://www.puppylinux.org
