I want to boot knoppix from USB. (not buying a usb stick with it on but making it)

I downloaded an ISO from
http://www.knopper.net/knoppix-mirrors/index-en.html
Knoppix V7.2.0 dated 24/6/2013
it looks like the latest there.

I don't know if this was a bad or silly method, but I went to pendrivelinux.com and ran their universal usb installer and pointed it to the ISO.

It started talking.. like a screen reader talking while stuff came on the screen. Then it wrote near the bottom on the screen
"fixing recursive fault but reboot is needed" It didn't reboot, I shutdown and turned it on again.

it continued or restarted the installation, and it wrote something like that i shouldn't restart or shutdown during the live installation.. I didn't.. and there was nothing talking about a reboot.

It eventually when to a GUI which is just a "knoppix" folder in the top left. I double click it or right click it and it disappears for a moment and reappears. I see nothing resembling a start menu either.

Does anybody know what's happening?

Perhaps there is another way I could try to build it to rule things out?
