Please stop hurling manpages at people when you didn't read their
postings. I think that I did make it clear that there is need for
_both_ options. If I eject the knoppix CD, the system boots into the
local OO, and if I don't eject the knoppix CD, Knoppix is rebooted.
Both of these options are valid in a remote
installation/update/diagnosis setting.
And I am not yet this perfect to know on system bootup if I'll need
the rescue system to reboot after doing some work or if I'll need the
local OS.
Greetings
Marc
