i have converted my working machines to hard-disk installs of knoppix. (cf knx-hdinstall)

by doing this, i availed myself of Klaus' debian expertise in package setup, leapfrogging my own mediocre skills. i found it necessary to convert /etc/apt/packages.list to a us-oriented set of mirrors and to remove the huge amount of internationalization in locales and kde-i18n-*.

the first time you do an apt-get update && apt-get upgrade, be prepared for a very long upload. once that is done, you have a really fine debian testing + unstable system.
