If we use morphix the only non-free software is an nvdia driver.
We can remove this from the CD we distribute. Also morphix team
plans to remove them, so thatmorphix will be 100% free

We need to address this. As knoppix and morphix are based on debian
creating a source CD will be very easy
> 	- harddisk installation might be a pain if derived from knoppix
Morphix solves this issue.

We need to address this.

I dont know what are the non-free softwares present in knoppix.
But morphix team says, nvidia driver is the only non-free software
present in it. So makking a  "Freie Software Morphix" will be 
easy.


Thanks
