Hi,

Christian Perle and me had an idea how to reboot knoppix without ejecting the 
CD ...

Its quite simple ...

Until there is a command line Option just use the following commands:

rm -f /etc/init.d/knoppix-halt
sed 's;\[ -x /etc/init;: #&;g' /KNOPPIX/etc/init.d/knoppix-halt > 
/etc/init.d/knoppix-halt

And then halt the system with halt.

If you don't want to use this cryptic script do:

rm -f /etc/init.d/knoppix-halt
cp /KNOPPIX/etc/init.d/knoppix-halt /etc/init.d/knoppix-halt

and edit /etc/init.d/knoppix-halt to uncomment the following lines:

FINALCMD="/sbin/$command"
#if [ -z "$INSTALLED" ]; then
#[ -x /etc/init ] || cp -p /sbin/init /etc/
#[ -x /etc/init ] && FINALCMD="/etc/init"
#fi

Then Knoppix will complain at halt/reboot that it can't unmount the CD, but 
thats exactly what we want ;-)

cu

Fabian

PS: Surprising that the solution to this problem was soo easy ...
