This is a re-post in paraphrase, because I stupidly replied to jedd directly 
(sorry jed!)

So, what would be the procedures to downgrade a knoppix install to sarge/sid?  
If there are weird problems (none of which I've had yet, in two months) I'd 
rather correct them before they manifest then have to fix afterwords.  Surely 
the only solution is not to do a hdd wipe and reinstall via the sarge beta 
installer or the new anaconda beta installer, I should be able to 
just ?downgrade? my knoppix install to standard debian.

Anyone know the specific differences in packages and repositories between a 
vanilla debian sarge/sid and knoppix?

thanks. and sorry again for the direct reply.
