No no no...Knoppix is a CD-based distro.  It runs FROM the CD.  I 
think they call it a "Live CD".  You boot from it, do whatever it is 
you want to do, then go on your merry way.  I keep knoppix around as 
a Utility CD for dealing with systems that don't seem to want to boot 
on their own anymore for some reason.  (That reason is usually that I 
did something I shouldn't have and completely screwed it up...but 
we're not going to discuss that!)  ;-)
