John.Incoming from john gennard:Briefly, the suggestion was "why not do a normal install? ..... you could even help test the new Debian Installer.....Details and a request to help the testing process are at:- http:// www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/ " I don't understand how I can install Knoppix3.3 by using the new Debian Installer. Would someone please give me basic idiot proof instructions. John.They're suggesting you install _stock_ Debian instead of Knoppix (which is based on Debian). This may or may not be what you want todo.
What are you trying to do? Knoppix is Debian, but in a mix of woody, testing, unstable. You can do all of that with your Sarge install. What do you want to accomplish? Learn Linux, install Debian. Learn of different distros? Then use the live-cd feature of Knoppix. Your response to S. Keeling has me very confused over what you hope to get done. -- Damon L. Chesser dchesser@bigfoot.com
