Mark,

I really don't know anything about Knoppix. When I saw that you were using
it, I downloaded it with the idea of playing with it. But I still haven't
made it to it.

Sorry I can't be of any help.

Hi Rob,
Actually, I'm only booting via Knoppix.
Do you know if there is a way of bypassing the GUI via an interactive boot
(in which I respond "Y" for each task to be run) ?
Thanks,
