Debian HD install 4.0

[whoeverheis]

For a change I did a Debian install of 4.0 on my HD where you can see why a DVD is now needed. Never ending, cascading, menus. That is my point. I found myself having to go from Gnome, to KDE to Knoppix, etc. to eventually get it all going. Did I miss something? I didn't have a problem following it all but I imagine it would be a daunting task for someone new to Knoppix.

You didi not miss something. We have cautioned new users from installing Knoppix to the HD without first being aware that it might not work for them http://www.knoppix.net/wiki/Hd_Install_HowTo. I personally do not recommend a new unexperienced users to install Knoppix to the HD. Your recent experience with 4.0 and a HD install seems to support by view.
