I've been trying Linux on and off for a couple of years. My first experience with Linux was with a version of Slackware (can't remember) way back in 1996. At the time the installation was so daunting that I gave up all together. For a little background I consider myself a proficient computer user.

Does the newest version of Knoppix come with a built in friendly installer? I tried the previous version and saw if I wanted to install I had to press some key combination that took me to a console then I typed some hdinstall command and in the end there was German, and it just didn't work all that great.
The latest knoppix to harddrive installer (to the best of my knowledge) is an icon in the knoppix menu. Like you had mentioned the installer used to be written in german and english. The installer will ask you for some info and , AFAIK, uses gtkperl to generate gtk Yes/No command buttons. It now runs qtparted instead of cfdisk to partition the hard drisk. It user has the choice of installing it identically to the HD as knoppix or to install it to the HD as Debian. The first method will make the system boot and operate and immediately drop the user into KDE as user knoppix just as if it was running the knoppix CD. The second option will create a full install that will not behave identically like the CD will be a normal Debian system.
