Boot straight to CLI with speech assistant

Hi,
I Have bootable knoppix installed on USB stick. (7 i think)
Is there a way to get rid of the menu and boot straight to CLI.
I'd like to get the same result than typing "knoppix 2" in the menu.
Of course I also need run one of my own script to get network and ssh server running.

Now I start computer, wait for the menu, select SHELL from the list and run myboot.sh script which puts network, ssh and dlna servers up.
I wan't to get rid of the menu so I can boot computer from distance.

Machine is headless.
