Hello,

I have questions regarding Knoppix and Debian.

1. Are the packages in knoppix the same as Debian? Are there any gotchas with using additional Debian packages not included in the original Knoppix install?

2. When I do a apt-get upgrade are the updates just Debian updates? To maintain the install I just keep doing the Debian updates? Are the packages for the latest Knoppix release included in the Debian repository, so apt-get maintains a track of future updates and installs these?

3. Are there any Knoppix specific packages which don't get updated by the Debian apt-get repository or are all Knoppix packages in the debian repository? As an example, knx-alsa which I think is a knoppix specific alsa sound package.

4. When I do a hard disk install are the configuration files used to setup the booted liveCD knoppix reused or does hardware detect run again? Can I assmue that if the hardware is setup properly with the liveCD that it will also be setup correctly with the hd install. As an example, if I want alsa sound I set the cheatcode, but how do I force alsa sound in the hd-install.

thanks....
