(Doctor) Don't do that then...

-Just kidding.

--Personally, if that's what it takes to shutdown correctly, you can try hitting Ctrl-Alt-Del. If it's defined correctly in /etc/inittab, it will shutdown the system.

( From /etc/inittab )
ca::ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -h now

--Some people have ' shutdown -r now ' which reboots instead.

Thanks in advance. All in all I love this version of Knoppix. Keep up the good work. Kan't wait for the knext version.
