Solved!

I didn't get any real answers so I strugled trough DSL system and stumbled into /etc/init.d/knoppix-reboot.
Ok that's a symlink. You must copy the real one and replace the symlink. Then add it to your filetool.lst.
Then edit it:

Near end you'll see line like this:

Code Sample

NOEJECT=""

Replace it with:

Code Sample

NOEJECT="yes"

That's it. It works just fine. :cool:

Note that on halt/shutdown it still ejects your CD if you ran DSL from CD without toram boot option.
For shutdown/halt tuning, tweak /etc/init.d/knoppix-halt file. ;-)

A HA!

You need to edit few lines at the very end:

Quote

if [ -z "$INSTALLED" ]; then
# echo -n "${CYAN}Wait for CD to eject, then remove CD, close cdrom drive and press enter.${NORMAL}"
echo "${CYAN}No CD eject when rebooting.${NORMAL}"
sleep 5
fi

Those are just example lines, but now It it SHOULD work.

*boot*

With a frugal/poorman's install, the wait message appears unless you use the "dsl frugal" boot option. I have never tried it with a live cd, but i think it's worth a test...it would save having to add another file to a backup.

A possible issue with this is that DSL may try to remount the cd read-write, which would fail and probably print an error mesage.
