Knoppix is 'basically' Debian, but 'basically' has become a word with a very squishy meaning. Play around with Knoppix in order to convince yourself that you are on the right track for you. Then go to www.debian.org and find the CD image of the new Debian installer CD. Download this, burn a CD and do an install of 'pure Debian'. This way the help that you get on this list will be directly applicable to your own installation. Read Debian doc.s, also available on www.debian.org Be aware that Debian is a true user organization.
