Knoppix is a wonderfulll distrio. Among its strengths is a large and devoted community. Many users want to install knoppix to their hds because it is a way to get a debian install without the usual hassle of a traditional debian installation. Klaus focuses on a live cd, and we are told that if we install knoppix to our hds, what we then have is debian, so please consult the debian forums for help.

I'd like to explore this some more. Once we install knoppix to our hd, what we get is not exactly knoppix, and not exactly debian ( even with the "debian style" install). The dependency
problems are not trivial and are insurmountable for a noob like myself. Many of us, even using godot's assistance have broken the installation when upgrading.

I wonder if there is sufficient interest in a community of knoppix users, who are interested in using knoppix to install debian, who might warrant some space on this or some other forum to address these issues.

Thank you all, for listening to this llong-winded post.

cheers
