Wait. As Knoppix is mainly testing there is no problem at the moment to
add/remove packages. However, once Debian moves on (twelve months) there
are some specialised Knoppix packages that will cause problems. Knoppix
KDE and OOo are somewhat messy.
Mind you, if you are a bit of a geek you should be able to sort these
problems out when the time comes, but it won't be a straight apt-get
upgrade.
