    With Knoppix, generally yes.  With Ubuntu, no.

    Knoppix provides a way to copy the CD onto a partition and make it
bootable.  From there you can upgrade into Sarge.  There are some problems
with that procedure but sometimes Knoppix itself will recognize hardware the
Debian installer does not so it makes for good 2nd chance install.  I've done
it at least once in my memory.

    Ubuntu uses their own packages and repositories.  Moving from Ubuntu to
Debian, while it might be possible, is IMHO highly improbable.
