To manually unmount the cd, open a console & type 'sudo umount /dev/cdrom' (sudo makes you root for the command & note it's umount not unmount).
To manually eject the cd 'sudo eject /dev/cdrom'
Use /dev/cdrom1 as appropriate.

.... I saw in the Knoppix config menu there is an option called "Save knoppix config". Is this what I need to do everytime I make a change, it automatically saves that config on a floppy though.
Yes you can save your config this way. You have to have the floppy in the drive when you boot & enter 'knoppix floppyconfig' when you boot. You will have to resvae if you make any config changes you want to keep.

If you think that there is interference of the device, then this might be important. Through a coincidence, some device in my computer is picking up local radio FM waves, ie, even when my computer is off, and my speaker sound from the wheel on the sub is set at the lowest, I hear a radio channel, I have caught it on other radios too and hence know it is a local FM. Could this be a problem during the startup. This is not a problem in my windows btw.
Probably this will not cause any problems. I once had a computer that would pick up a local AM radio station & backfeed it through the modem connection so that I had the radio in the background on the telephone. Very annoying but didn't cause any computer operational problems.
