I would try doing: apt-get install --reinstall e2fsprogs sysvinit : and see what changes it wants to make and go from there. If you want to start with a Knoppix base and install from Debian repositories there is potential to break your installation and you have to be willing to take risks and use the packaging tools if you want to make the transition. The transition can be made, but like was said in another post: "Knoppix isn't Debian, and all the morons in the world can't make it so, no matter what they want to claim." Some configuration stuff seems to be pretty deeply ingrained and even after upgrading every package on the system Knoppix configuration stuff still remains. Once upon a time I did the Knoppix hard drive install and updated from Debian unstable just about every day for more than 2 years. Lots of upgrades lots of replaced configurations a few bouts of purging and reinstalling packages and even after all of that there was residual stuff from Knoppix. One day I had an issue that I am pretty sure was caused by the differeces between Knoppix and Debian that I couldn't figure out. That's not saying you shouldn't do it, just saying be prepared.
