OK ... no ... I don't even know what qemu is.

Boot the knoppix disk.
Go to a root shell and type knoppix-installer

The installation will commence. Fully menu driven.

Maybe I didn't understand the question correctly, but
you can use qemu to boot up the Knoppix image from the
hard drive.  It is slow, but it works.  Just:

qemu -m 256 -cdrom Knoppix.iso

This will come up with a menu.

1/ Run the setup.
2/ Run the install ...
3/ Bingo you have a Debian system on your HD.

Customizing it.
1/ Run the setup to create a config file.
2/ Save configuration to a file in your home
directory.
3/ Go to the home directory and modify it as
desired. For example you can change to reiser file system, no formatting ... different drive mapping such as a whole partition just for /home. It is well documented ... the configuration script is really
well commented.
4/ Go back to the knoppix-installer program and load
your new configuration.
5/ Run the install.
6/ You will now boot to a customized Debian.

Works great either way.    The computer I am typing
on is a Debian custom created from a knoppix disk. I use the knoppix disk to maintain it. If there is a problem I just save my home directory to an external serial drive. Then I run the knoppix disk and re-install it. It only takes 20 minutes. Then put my home directory back.
 Easy.

Subject: [debian-knoppix] Any way to boot Knoppix
entirely off NTFS partition?
With a stanza like the following in GRUB...

# For booting Knoppix off the hard disk
title Boot Knoppix 3.4 from hard disk
kernel (hd0,0)/KNOPPIX/linux26 \
   bootfrom=/dev/hda1/KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX.iso \
   lang=us keyboard=us alsa
initrd (hd0,0)/KNOPPIX/minirt26.gz

...one can boot from KNOPPIX.iso off an NTFS
partition (given that
KNOPPIX.iso, linux26, and minirt26.gz are in
C:\KNOPPIX). However, it
still requires the Knoppix CD to be in the drive.

I've been playing around with various combinations
of the
"knoppix_dir=", "knoppix_name", and "fromhd="
cheatcodes (in GRUB's
"kernel" statement), trying to get Knoppix to run
*entirely* from the
hard drive, without needing to access the CD, with
no success.
Has anyone made it work?
