Since knoppix installed to Harddisk basically turns into a debian installation (and since I run knoppix myself), maybe this is of interest:
I have started to create a commandline program to make the installation of packages even simpler, and think it has now enough features to be of some use.
Right now only I have tried out this program, so it will probably break under many conditions. But I would be interested, if there is any interest in such a program, and if so, which further features you would like to see included.
