This is a very wandering mine in a multiuser box
It is true that in a multiuser box only necessary programs should be installed to run Linux (Linux kiosk).

But xvidtune is a good tool for Knoppix user and should not be removed. On the other hand, giving root's password does not profit anything because it is so easy thing to type 'passwd root' in a virtual console and give a new password to root.

My suggestion is that in multiuser systems only remastered versions of Knoppix should be used without dangerous programs.
