Hi,

I am just wondering:
How does KNOPPIX turnoff's computer?

I'm using old PEACOCK computer, KNOPPIX 5.0 LIVECD is the only distro I have checked (debian, puppy linux, dls) which turnoff computer (turns power off). I just press button TURN OFF COMPUTER in KDE

All other distros just leaves computer on with info: "halted" or "power down" and I have to press power button.

Because I'm preparing a few computers working on Debian I would like to know what magic knoppix command is so great that it turns power off.

In Knoppix 4.0.2 CD /etc/init.d/knoppix-halt -script seems to do that with command /sbin/halt -p -d -i -f
And halt man-page says that option -p causes it to do a poweroff.

well,

halt -p
stops system and does'n turns off power

halt -p -d -i -f
just stops network
