.
Somewhere in the start-up sequence, a symbolic link KNOPPIX -> /mnt-system
gets written to /home/knoppix/Desktop/. This places an icon on the desktop.
I rarely need to re-assure myself what's in/on /mnt-system; and,
I'd prefer to arrange my own desktop without this icon.

Can anyone tell me specifically, what little piece of code is responsible for this?
