I've seen loads of questions about how to install debian, and always thought
it can't be that difficult"... I was wrong.
My previous two installations were by transfering Knoppix to the hd and
changing sources.list to use sid sources only and then upgrading. It leaves
permanent Knoppix splas

I've only done it to sid, which I can confirm is possible. I think some of
knoppix is unstable, so there could be some problems getting back to sarge.

Another really dim question coming up...
I'm trying to install thinkpad drivers for Debian. Instructions say to
unpack the thinkpad.tar.gz (no problem there) and then to "cd to the
