I don't quite understand why you want to install harddrake on knoppix but try this:
wget http://torsion.org/witten/debian/harddrake_0.9.1-1_i386.deb
su
dpkg -i harddrake_0.9.1-1_i386.deb

For this to work you have to run from the hd. Unionfs works on some knoppix versions, but not 3.9

While it is possible in theory to install a package that was built for a different distro, it is not recommended. Often, those packages call for system files to be placed in directories that either don't exist on your distro, or are in a different place. Different distros also come with custom, distro-specific kernels quite frequently. It's best to install whatever you want to install via apt-get when you're running Debian.
