1. Boot from Knoppix. Copy/print the X config (probably /etc/X11/xorg.conf now 
that xf86 isn't used - the old version would be XF86Config or XF86Config-4).

2. Boot Debian installer, choose text install.

3. Get the rest of the system sorted out then transcribe the Knoppix X 
settings into the Debian config to get it working with your graphics card, 
keyboard, mouse and monitor.

Once logged in at a text terminal, use the command 'startx' to chech your 
changes.
