Knoppix is a livecd and I don't believe the apps are "packaged" on the cd. I think they are already installed, ready-to-run on the cd itself. You're better off going with the unstable cds. Just download an unofficial unstable(sid) cd and use the packages from that: ftp://ftp.fsn.hu/pub/CDROM-Images/debian-unofficial/sid/jigdo/ or... you can buy one of those usb hard drives, find a good internet connection, and mirror the debian unstable tree on that hard drive, then take it home and use that as your repository. - Ryan
