An afterthought
.
There is no cheatcode 'nostartsound' documented in knoppix-cheatcodes.txt
included with Knoppix 7.2. There is a cheatcode 'nosound' which I presume
emulates the non-existence of soundcard detection.
It occurs to me that my 'alternative' to Werner's solution may just be
a description of what may in fact be an implemented, valid but undocumented
'nostartsound' cheatcode. It's certainly possible that Klaus K has already
addressed the problem but merely not gotten around to documenting its included
solution.
The test would be, whether mplayer is still operational with 'nostartsound'
as a recognized cheatcode.

Some times ago "klaus2008" did draw my attention to this undocumented cheatcode and I've inserted it within Wiki-Cheatcodes at the end of "More explanations".
You can find how this works within '/etc/init.d/knoppix-autoconfig' and '/etc/init.d/knoppix-halt'.

My implementation is simpler, works on the same priinciple,
but only takes one character for start and one for halt.

as somewhat suggested here http://www.knopper.net/knoppix/knoppix-flash-en.html"This program [flash-knoppix] installs all needed Knoppix files onto the FAT-formatted flashdisk, and creates a boot record for it."So I checked my flash disk is FAT32 formatted.I booted off my DVD and plugged in my FAT32 formatted USB stick, and ran $flash-knoppix it showed sda as my hdd, sdb as my USB. I selected sdb, my USB, I hit ENTER, and all it did was return to the $ prompt.

Which size has your USB stick? For flash disk install of DVD you need at least 8GB.
-
My USB stick is advertised as 8GB, Kingston DTSE9 8GBLinux shows it as 7388.49MB
-
flash-knoppix lists it as 7388.49MB
-
.. and ran $flash-knoppix it showed sda as my hdd, sdb as my USB. I selected sdb, my USB, I hit ENTER, and all it did was return to the $ prompt.
And there have been no other messages or questions? If so, did you test the Knoppix DVD with the cheatcode "knoppix testcd"?
-
No error or anything just to the $.I haven't tested knoppix testcd yet. I just tried with another usb stick, this one a 16GB.. first flash-knoppix wasn't seeing it when I put it in, took it out, put it in. Then I restarted with it in. And now when I put it in or take it out, flash-knoppix detects when it's in/out, so with it in flash-knoppix listed it and I selected it and pushed ENTER.. And this one gave an error something about getinfo and current directory, but now it's not giving me any error when I try it, and it just returns back to $. So I can't see exactly what that error was. I will do knoppix testcd and i'll jot that error down on paper if I see it again.

I couldn't reproduce the error message, only the returning to the $ which it did. But, I managed to put knoppix on the USB.I found I was getting the problem of it returning to the $, when I ran flash-knoppix from the ctrl-F2 shell. When I ran it from a terminal shell within the gui, then it worked.
