I feel really bad about this because I moderate some boards as well and get users that post in the wrong forum all the time.


I'm a retard, please move this post, sorry again .
As you can see I have moved your post and to answer most of your questions above Knoppix is a fully working Debian install on CD with a few added scripts and tweaks for better hardware detection. When you install to the HD it is just Debian then you can do anything that can be done with a "normal" install of that OS. It can be a little tricky to upgrade the install due to all the packages installed from the different sources until you get used to how apt-get works but seeing as you have a slow connection I don't imagine you will be trying that soon anyways.
