ok, I have done this, and it ALMOST works

Code:
#!/bin/bash
#find the "# Added by KNOPPIX" line
grep -A 1 "KNOPPIX" /etc/fstab | grep dev | cut -c1-9 > drivelist
# read a line at a time
cat drivelist | while read line;
do
        # increment a variable for sequential mount points
        let "a += 1"
        # make mountpoint
        mkdir -p "/scanmount/drive"$a
        # now mount that drive
        mount ${line} /scanmount/drive$a
done
the problem is knoppix needs a filesystem type, so now I have to get it to search the same file/line for the characters between the 2nd and 3rd blank space on the same line...

I wonder if there's simpler way to just get Knoppix to automount them, rather than listing noauto in fstab?
