I don't know what version of knoppix you are using, but be ready, it won't
be too easy.
Actually, if you are familiar with knoppix, I'd recommend grml, because I
think it's the best Live CD for me so far. check out grml.org. It derived
from Knoppix, but is now pure Debian based, thus far better than Knoppix
to me. It's a live CD, but you can also get a working pure Debian system
on HD within minutes. I'm using Debian Testing now, which was its HD
installation. With the help of grml, you only need to care about your root
fs, all the rest, devices & configurations are taken care of by grml
automatically.
