Some One-Liners for Knoppix 6.4.4 LiveUSB made from LiveCD:

/etc/X11/Xsession, change line 77 to read
exec >"$ERRFILE" 2>&1 # was originally exec >>"$ERRFILE" 2>&1
Cuts back on accumulation of hidden file ~/.xsession-errors.

Defined /etc/X11/Xsession.d/15x11-synaptics as
synclient "TouchpadOff=1"
One-line config file disables laptop touchpad in favor of external mouse.
I made mine root:root, since the other Xsession.d files were so.

Add two one-liners and a comment to /etc/syslog-knoppix.conf
to reinstate /var/log/kern.log and /var/log/syslog:
# Add back kern.log and syslog Note: tab separates the two fields.
kern.* /var/log/kern.log
*.*;auth,authpriv.none /var/log/syslog

I use the following line to let me know when /etc/rc.local is done.
aplay -vv /usr/lib/libreoffice/basis3.3/share/gallery/sounds/ok.wav

Depending on where you live, changing URLs for repos in Synaptic
from '.de' to '.us' may speed up some downloads. Look under
Preferences/Synaptic/Settings/Repos/('URI' must be German for 'URL')

sylinux.cfg, change the first line to read
DEFAULT knoppix no3d edd=off fromhd=/dev/sdb1 nonetworkmanager
Disables Compiz, Network Manager & edd testing; points to KNOPPIX
location on USB. All these help make 6.4.4 more responsive or help
get on-line quicker. Of course, you need an alternative to Network
Manager for this to really play out. I have mine; it's just a few
lines added to /etc/rc.local.
