    That doesn't make sense to me. Can you explain fiurther? You have to boot off media from somewhere. You can't boot KNOPPIX from your HD without installing it as far as I know.

    There are multiple ways of doing this.
    1>One is copy the iso image to any location on your HDD and then use the cheatcode bootfrom=<location of ISO>
    2>http://www.knoppix.net/docs/index.php/WinPartition

    Or copy all the cd's contents to a drive then use the fromhd=/dev/hdx command. (its easier to use the tohd=/dev/hdz command though)
