I'm afraid I don't know anything about the knoppix installation process,
and this isn't the right place to be asking about it. It is feasible,
but the details depend on the installer. For example with debian, you
can use 'mount a previously initialised partition' and choose /home as
the mountpoint. Then you just have to ensure that the uid of the user
who used to use that partition matches that of the corresponding user on
the new OS.
Why do you want to install knoppix to the hard drive? Are you currently
using debian? From what I understand, the hard drive install option of
knoppix attempts to give you a debian system anyway.
