Hi Ingo,
When Knoppix *automatically* logs the "knoppix" user in at bootup,
my commands will:
         Create /home/knoppix/ecs, etc
         Copy all ecs files to same
         Set permissions as appropriate for all of the above
         Start ecs
These command will be executed *only* if /home/knoppix/ecs does not already 
exist.
Right now, they are in /etc/profile.
Sound OK ?
Thanks,
