Thanks.
As regard the unecessary processess at start, usually they are handled in defferent ways according as specific linux distro. In Debian which Knoppix is based, they resides in the '/etc/rc*.d' directories as symlinks. This is a not very simple topic to explain, but as an example: don't you have a printer connected to your pc? Ok delete all symlinks which are ending with 'cupsys', so as root type 'rm -rf /etc/rc*.d/*cupsys' AT YOUR OWN RISK! :P
