The short answer: Don't do it.
Have installed Knoppix 5.0 from DVD. All works well except
1. That my network configuration does not load, it loads when running from the DVD disk. Using Knoppix Network/Internet, Network Card configuration it finds the network card and configures DCHP. Why does it loose this configuration upon reboot?
2. After using Kpackage (Package Manager) then doing Special, APTebian, Update and then Upgrade. On upgrade I choose to install the new version of packages when asked to install new or keep current version of packages. I did not log the pacakages that ask me that.
Now after those updates I reboot, this is what I get and unable to boot into Knoppix:
Booting 'Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.15 Default
