Knoppix and the likes have many issues as a distro. Beginning with the
fact that they don't really provide security updates, as they are a
mish-mash of Debian branches, with their own custom kernel.
If you like Debian, try Sarge's new installer.
One bug in it: if yoou select "Hebrew" as your language then sometime
immidiestly after the end of the installation run:
echo he_IL.UTF-8 UTF-8 >>/etc/locale.gen
locale-gen

Hebrew file names should be handled properly. UTF-8 recommended.
