Samsung 40 GB. This is what dmesg gives : hda: SAMSUNG SP4002H, ATA DISK drive

What is the best way to get a working debian install on my machine with all the latest goodies like in knoppix ? (I mean the latest kde for eg, which in woody, even after upgrading via the net gives me kde 2.1.2 which is ancient :( )

Install knoppix. do one of the above. then apt-get update; apt-get upgrade.

Enjoy the latest-n-greatest Debian.

AS I wrote to you, the knoppix CD seems to have corrupted kde packages.
