Debian is at 3.1 or higher
Knopix 3.8.1 is base upon ???
At boot Knoppix displays INIT: version 2.7.8 Knoppix

This comes about from trying to install a package called sysvinit modified for selinux.
sysvinit requires initscripts which is not installed
initscripts requires mount which is not installed
mount removes mount-aes an essential package, and removal will harm the system
and the system is futzed.

Initscripts also wants to update /etc/checkroot.sh, which is in the database as
belonging to sysvinit.

Are these tools for a more recent/ different version of Debian?
What does Knoppix use in place of these packages? initscripts and mount?
This seems rather circular...
