Will this work on a fresh Knoppix HD install?

I don't think dist-upgrade is the best way. The way I've been doing it is to see what's available through Synaptic (you have to change your default to show the "Experimental" or "Now" packages as the latest). So I start an IceWM session and use Synaptic to remove all the old KDE packages other than KDM. And then I install the latest. If there are dependency issues you have to use the command-line and apt-get install all of the dependent packages together. After everything else is installed I then stop KDM from running and upgrade it.

But Stephen explains how to do it from the command line in another thread...that's probably the best way. I just like to see graphically what is available and what I have installed.
