Hi again,

Linux shell script are very cool.
You have terific and terrifying control of you system
when you have root privlidge. KNOPPIX
make you root by simply typing the two letters
su on it's own line in a shell.

Sorry if this is way to elementry for you --
I have no Idea of where to start. Here is a basic link:
Shell Scripts: .BAT Files on Steroids
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/DOS-Win-to-Linux-HOWTO.html


You might experiment with the following:
Copy the file you want to change a boot to /home/knoppix/
and make the changes, and change the name.

Use the cp command wiht the -fp options to copy this
file to update the original one. If this works form a
shell, the automate it by making a text file in the
directroy /home/knoppix/.kde/Autostart
( the file .kde is hidden -- change view to show it)

The first line of the script can be
#!/bin/bash
Then enter the command to copy the file.

Best Wishes,
paradocs
