I said the above.

Basically, KNOPPIX has some scripts that run at boot time.  When KNOPPIX
boots you see something that says: autoconfiguring, and you see a little
green bar growing to the right as it tries out various modules.

The KNOPPIX autoconfiguration (and SysV init) scripts are KNOPPIX .deb
packages (like .rpm packages) that they created and installed instead of
the standard Debian .deb SysV init scripts.

If you remove the KNOPPIX scripts and replace them with the standard
Debian packages, you loose a lot of what KNOPPIX is all about.  You?ll
also find you?ll have to manually do what KNOPPIX did automagically
before.

That help?
