I want to use Knoppix in a quite unusual setup:
the computer is the "brain" of a complex sculpture - its role to act according to a series of Perl scripts I've already coded...
This sculpture won't have anything else (visible) than an on/off switch.

I guess I'll have to remaster Knoppix so that:
1) boots level 3
2) mounts HD for data storing (ext3)
3) runs my scripts (from (/etc/rc3.d I guess)

This object will be powered on/off, always without warning, so ext3 is probably mandatory.

Now the questions:
a) do you see any problem with this scheme?
b) how can I be sure that the bootup won't ever hang at any level asking for root password if a filesystem error appears? I know it happens sometimes, don't know if it is fsck or else - can I disable it?

Thanks for your help
