Not sure why the first reboot attempt failed, but brucecs' solution is good for me as of now. I hope it will be consistent, I prefer this method over using a floppy - much faster!!

Might thoughtful work, this knoppix is - automatic discovery is a true gift!
The only mistake you made was to think that everyone should be able to read and write to the stick ...

But if you mount it as root, only root has access to it .

so sudo ls -la /mnt/sda would work.



However you can even detect an usb stick after you booted.

Just do:

Code:
sudo rebuildfstab -r
mkdesktophdicons
hm, this _should_ work automatically. I have to talk with Klaus about it.
