Hey there!!
Is was thinking if it is possible to install Debian, and then install all the knoppix packages from http://developer.linuxtag.net/knoppix/
and then have a fully uptodate knoppix with the newest xwindow managers and other stuff??
If it is, then how do i compile a kernel with unionfs support, and get unionfs to work??

What "Knoppix package" are you wanting to install that is not already available from the Debian package system? Since Knoppix is known to mix and match from different versions of Debian you might have problems if you try to download and install the exact same versions from a Knoppix list, but you certainly should be able to install the most recent versions for whichever type of Debian you select right from the Debian package system. Do you know of something that you want that isn't available there?

I certainly wouldn't just blindly install everything from a Knoppix list anyway. They almost certainly have things you'll never use on the Knoppix disc. Far better to use the Debian package system to install everythingt that you want, and if you find something that you wnt that isn't installed, install it then.

I must not have told it in the right way i think, so i try again.

I want to install a normal debian system, and install the stuff that makes a knoppix live cd.
It is because i want to make it in my language so it is completely danish, with only the programs i need.
