Well, I already know that :)
What I'm trying to say is what is the benefit of doing that?
I'm kind a iritated when I have to use Alt+F5 in KNOPPIX instead Alt+F7.

Imagine a newbie that has use other Linux and try KNOPPIX,
Somehow he press Ctrl+Alt+F1 to see the console then press Alt+F7 to get
back to X and sees nothing but a blank.
Now he must try all Alt+Fx to find the X :^)
