For the root passwd problem, here's my take: its renewed and encrypted each time u boot into knoppix. so you can't find it out. (anyone? :D) However they provide the mighty root console via the start>knoppix sub menu of kde. Oh and it gives direct root access. After all you are the only one. its the cleanest and official option.

However mounting hdd partitions is a matter of click since knx identifies and lists them on desktop by default. No need be root for that.

Then again the question of ejecting the knx cd while its running. No problems with that too as long as you don't try to start a new software after ejecting the cd. The kernel and quite a considerable amount is loaded into ram so it doesn't need the cd for that. Keep whatever software you want running and then eject. And to eject, first unmount the cd via root console then manually eject ! :D

Actually i tried this as i only have a cd-writer and no cd-rom drv. so i kept xcdroast running, mounted my hdd partitions, ejected the cd. burned a new cd and popped the knx cd back again. smooth eh ?

although there's a little problem when you remount. Perhaps something to do with the mounting options.
