The one time I tried converting a Knoppix install, it took several cycles of apt-get update ; apt-get dist-upgrade to get nearly to pure Sid, with lots of legacy Knoppix only packages still there. The best use of Knoppix in in my experience in terms of installation is first to see if Knoppix can detect all the hardware. Then I *write*it*down* for later references, what modules are loaded, I save the /etc/X11/XF86config-4 file, and such. Then I use that information (and the entire XF86config-4 file) when doing a vanilla Debian install. Knoppix hardware detection has been very useful for downgrading new PCs from XP (puke!) to Win2K (lesser puke). Win2K cannot detect the newer hardware.
