1)The 4.0.2 CD at boot says: Welcome to the KNOPPIX live Linux-on-DVD!

THIS IS THE CD AND NOT THE DVD AS IT DISPLAYS!

2) Boot Option "knoppix no{swap}" is getting ignored (at least on an SATA Harddrive with Linux Swap partition).  !!! Knoppix will still use the swap partition !!!

3) if toram boot option is used, shutdown does not work. After X-windows exit, shell prompt appears, but system does not do shutdown. Also poweroff or shutdown commands have no effect at all.

4) not sure this is new, but while customizing 4.0.2CD I encountered a problem involving hotplugging multiple usb-storage devices. If one is mounted, and another is plugged in, the first device often seems to move to a new device but the old mount remains. There seems to be some explanation of this behavior in /sbin/hotplug-knoppix. Comments therein suggests the problem goes back to 2002. It would be the nice and expected behavior if plugging new storage doesn't booger up existing mounts. Any explanation of the issues involved would be helpful as well.

5) Starting knoppix with boot option "knoppix desktop=xfce" initiates successfully xsession, sound can be heard but when loading xfce desktop computer returns to shell screen with message X Window xsession terminated with errors. Tried on x40, within vmware. all other options boot up correctly (in regard to xsession...)
