In my limited experience, I found that it is best to start with Debian 
net install image to get a system with minimal problems. The 
knoppix->debian, Ubuntu->debian etc though seem to be easy will consume 
more time than installing Debian from scratch.

The thing is knoppix uses packages from stable+testing+unstable and If 
you want to install Debian stable on a knoppix machine - Well, it is not 
easy for a newbie.
