Why are you using Knoppix to install debian?  Debian's net install is
very easy and a fairly large selling point in general for the OS. 
Either grab the floppy images or grab a CD from here:

Make sure you grab the kernel v2.4 netinstall.  Due to debian's lack of
updating their stable branch, (last time I checked) their default
netinstall had a 2.2 kernel.
