I have tried Knoppix and find amazing what it finds out
automatically. But I don't understand how Karsten uses it to install
Debian. Could someone (possibly Karsten) amplify on his terse
description of this method. I would like to try it on an old box that
I have been unable to get working. Please be rather verbose. I am not
good at connecting dots.
