Knoppix is not and was never installable.

Wrong. My first successful Debian installation (back in the Debian Woody days) was done via Knoppix. The installation was simple and quick -- it just created a new file system and then dumped the contents of the live-cd onto the hard drive (kind of like the current Ubuntu desktop installer does).

The problem was that Knoppix mixed packages from Debian Stable, Testing, and Unstable, plus many packages from unofficial repositories, and the first "apt-get dist-upgrade" immediately broke my installation. ;)
