The HD-Installer will get the "1.0" as the point, it'll produce a system,
which works as good as the system on the CD currently does. This is way more
complicate, because the people expect a faster boot and expect all prefs to
be saved. Also we need to find a way that stock-debian packages (which will
be required forever because they are a perfect base) do not kill the
installation.

many has changed, as the new installer keeps way more of the automatic which
is the important point behind knoppix.

what do you want to say with that? Linux doesn't only need to be better than
Windows, the people need to know, that it's better. They even need to know,
that it exists. They even need to know, that they can change their OS!
