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.
