Thanks again, Werner.
The symlink doesn't seem to work,
Code:
root@Microknoppix:/etc# ls syslog-knoppix
ls: cannot access syslog-knoppix: No such file or directory
root@Microknoppix:/etc# ln -s /usr/sbin/rsyslogd /sbin/syslogd
ln: failed to create symbolic link `/sbin/syslogd': File exists
root@Microknoppix:/etc#
but I think I may be able to rework '/etc/init.d/knoppix-autoconfig
to get what I want. Just replacing log start with 7.2 code may be enough.
Thanks for the clues.

syslog-knoppix.conf not syslog-knoppix
failed to create symbolic link `/sbin/syslogd': File exists
Just looked again for it - this file doesn't exist within my DVD download of V7.4.0
What is the size and the timestamp of '/UNIONFS/sbin/syslogd'?

An update on this saga:
.
1. Werner's suggestion for re-instating syslog in Knoppix 7's must
be applied before adding any overlays.
2. The Knoppix 7.2 .bashrc function indicated in my post #9 will not
work as is without modification in Knoppix 7.4. Adaptations which will
work are as follows:
Code:
# Excerpts from my Knoppix 7.4 .bashrc:
alias 'Syslog=sudo less /var/log/syslog' # requires syslog
at.Start(){ # echo time at Start (requires Syslog)
echo -e "at Start: \c"; Syslog | grep 'acpid: start' | awk '{ print $3 }'
}
Disconnects() { # Wifi disconnects since boot (requires Syslog)
echo -e "Time now: \c"; date | awk '{ print $4 }'
at.Start
echo -e "Wifi disconnects: \c"; Syslog | grep -c disconnecting
}
3. It may not be possible to estimate time to boot using syslog in
Knoppix 7.4.
4. Thanks again go to Werner for pointing out there are pitfalls in
using Knoppix's overlay process which must be observed.
