I've been running a Debian system which I installed from the knoppix. I don't see how you could get any simpler than the knoppix-install from Fabian Franz in the latest versions. It's true that you can't choose which packages to install. It decompresses 3.2 gigs of os/apps from the one CD. The Knoppix hardware detection is second to none and I had to configure vitually nothing.
