Re: Shutting down as user (Here's how)

Why the t5 for a 'home' computer? That just causes a
pause in the shutdown right??

I looked at knoppix's file, but it sends the sys to a
'binary file' that apparently does not have a time of
5 seconds on it. Just curious.

Cyclists should expect and demand safe
accommodation on our public roads,
just as does every other user.

Nothing more is expected.

Nothing less is acceptable!

Long live Knoppix!!
