The following is a guess: some packages in Knoppix have higher version
numbers than those in sid; some packages are Knoppix-specific (e.g.
init scripts to do magic hardware detection?); some packages which would
be part of a standard sid install won't be installed; some files might
be present but not part of a package, or be changed from their default
contents in a sid install.
The pain of a Debian install isn't so bad, in my experience - if it
supports your hardware properly. When the woody installer can't see
your hard drive, it's less fun :(
