I have Knoppix 3.3 installed on my computer. I chose the Knoppix-style installation, I would have prefered the Debian-style installation but for some reason the installer would hang.
Now I have several annoyances that I have to deal with, and would really love to fix them if possible
1) No login prompt: The system logins as knoppix user by default. I looked into the KDE Login Manager, but no dice.
2) Automatic hardware detection: This is nice for a LiveCD, but gets really annoying after a while if your distro is installed on your HD and nothing is changing from one bootup to the next. I would like at the least to have all my hard drives mounted and set to read-write (instead of read-only) a boot.

Any suggestions?

TIA!
