Welcome to Knoppix.net!

1) It is designed & intended to be used as a bootable LiveCD distribution. There is only the LiveCD or LiveDVD an not a separate hard drive installable version. Please read my answer to number two, then read this thread as we have covered many of the main points in detail. http://www.knoppix.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=19815

2) You can't choose the software on either the CD or the DVD. The installer is a dialog/Xdialog script that guides the user to partition the HD, create a user account, enter the root passwd, and then decompresses the entire compresed CD to the new partition. Then it applies runs a clean up script and installs the grub bootloader. At no point is there any choice in deciding which packages to install since ALL of them get installed. You can not combine the CD's packages with the DVD packages as it is not set up to do this.

If you have further questions, you can search the forums as we have answered lots of questions. You can also try the Documentation and the FAQs listed in it. If you still have need more answers, then please post detailed questions so we can help you.
