etc.
etc.
Also, when I logout and tell KDM to restart the machine, it doesn't shutdown and restart. It hangs in the console.

After discovering this, I booted with the CD using 'knoppix testcd' and it failed when checking the knoppix image. So, I booted up with a 7/26/03 CD, mounted my hd install (hdd2) and copied all of the files from the /sbin directory to /mnt/hdd2/sbin where the existing /mnt/hdd2/sbin files had 0 bytes size.
This seems to have worked fine. No more "respawing too fast" errors, and the machine shuts down properly when you select 'shutdown' or 'shutdown and restart'.
I'm planning to burn a fresh Knoppix 3.3 CD today.
Thanks,
