To install Debian from Knoppix it not really the best idea.  It is
possible to do so but it is not really the main purpose of Knoppix.
I'd suggest to get a real Debian ISO and install this.  Keeping some
of the configuration files created by Knoppix might be a good idea
(especially /etc/X11/XF86Config) because the current stable Debian
has no auto detection (the next release will fix this but it is
far from ready)

What files?
