But I'll ask anyway. Knoppix is based on Debian and comes with a script to install it to the hard drive. Nevertheless, Knoppix is not considered to be a "clean" Debian installation, as you can have problems migrating over to the Debian servers for updates and upgrades. I notice FreeSBIE (www.freesbie.org) is based on FreeBSD and also has a script for installing to the hard drive. What I'm wondering is, how "clean" is FreeSBIE's installation? Am I going to have any problems if I use ports for getting upgrades and security updates? TIA, Jacob
