Knoppix is a flavour of Debian. Knoppix/Debian is the state of Knoppix
being installed on the HD with a boot entry in the MBR. In this state,
Knoppix is fully capable of pulling packages from the Debian servers,
installing them... well, doing pretty much what a full Debian install
can do as regards the installation.
The wonderful thing about Knoppix in either CD boot or HD boot is that
it autodetects and autoconfigures /everything/ [on a Dell laptop {in my
experience}] so you shouldn't have any real issues with it.
