Thank you, bxb32001, if I may I have a follow up question.

I have the 7 cd set of debian woody on order, I received my knoppix first and have been playing with it. Now I understand that once knoppix is hdd installed, then you can apt-get directly from the debian cdroms as a quicker way of updating the os. This sounds great! However, since the knoppix hdd is the unstable debian and I've ordered the stable debian cd's, will I still be able to do my upgrades directly from cd's in this fashion?

Thanks again for your reply.
