I leave that up to the Debian team. If they chose to include any of my
hardware detection on the standard Debian distribution, great. If not,
no problem for me.

Btw, you can turn Knoppix into a standard Debian harddisk installation
with

sudo /usr/local/bin/knx-hdinstall
(which is the Knoppix installer, written by Christian Perle).

(English language supported from 01-10-2002 and up).

I have no interest in mass-selling a product. My business model is
customizing, support and consulting, as is the mainstream business in
open source development. If you would like to, feel free to
modify and sell the CD (or another Debian derivate) on your own, which
is what many people do.
