Well IMHO a graphical installer would be amazing for knoppix, i am a complete newbie to linux, have used mandrake for a few moths befroe i discovered Knoppix, now all my friends have at least on CD for rescue purposes, or just for getting an amazing non MS system ready and booted in minutes.
I think knoppix from cd is nothing short of amazing, and the work that Herr Knopper must have done to make it work is admirable. So while i understand that HIS aim is not for it to be an installed distro i dont see why this prevents it being implemented.
If Knoppix had a choice between say 2 installers, a graphical one for extreme ease of use, and the good old CLI for crossplatform compatibility and of course to pet the masters who shun anything with more than 2 colors, i am sure that it would be a kick ass system, a FREE distro installing a very smooth Debian derivative. It would be a free version of Xandros light, just nicer.
---> Alextreme, about HD partition, i think this can be handled by most windows users above a certain level, check to the commercial distros for ideas here, they still let you partition yourself, just with a GUI frontend, and suddenly it all seems so much easier
Well, that's just my idea, i am not a programmer, just a user, so implementation of this wouldn't be something for me to dabble with, now if you want me to analyse an ECG that's where i have expertise

Hmm, on the hd-detection, it's working quite well now! The 0.3-2 release of morphix has a few new options, still no GUI partition tool but a number of bugs have been removed. I should take a look at how mdk/rh handles this, but the gtk2 installer on it's own is a breeze to install (then again, everything you make yourself is easy, but this is truely straightforward )
I have heard a number of people wanting to have it included in knoppix, or at least to derive some idea's for in knx-hdinstall. I've a cvs up on sf.net, and i could even go so far as have a knoppix-branch, but i don't know how good knx-hdinstall has gotten so it might be unneeded.
Anyway, the masters that shun anything with more than 2 colors will probably want to install from scratch, thats what the Debian installer is for. For us mere mortals, Knoppix and derivatives are a welcome alternative
