One thing that knoppix has that's really cool is an installer program 
that you run after you've booted from the cd. It's a kde app i believe, 
or maybe a script that calls artsdialog or something, and it asks you a 
very minimal set of questions, and then copies itself to your drive.

Also, I wrote the gtk interface for debian-installer, which wasn't 
finished. But, maybe debian-np could have a more limited set of 
hardware requirements, making an X based installer more reasonable.

Oh, and you can disregard my last email. I just discovered the np-devel 
list and started looking through the archives.

Thanks,
