Do yo want to install it to your harddrive? If thats the case control-alt F2 will get you to where you want to type knoppix-installer and folow the directions. cfdisk at that prompt will also help you partition your drive. This can be done from running the live cd. passwd will let you set a new root password if you need to.

Don't you have the iso file on your machine anyway? You could just burn anotherjavascript:emoticon(':P').

I gather that you are asking how to make a ISO image from a working Knoppix CD. If you have windows, then you can use the shareware program called Isobuster. Install isobust, run it, and right click on the CD drive icon and save an image.
If you have linux, you could probably use k3b or you can use the command

dd if=/dev/hdc of=YourNewKnoppix.iso

To make iso from cd/dvd:
dd if=/dev/dvd of=dvd.iso # for dvd
dd if=/dev/cdrom of=cd.iso # for cdrom
dd if=/dev/scd0 of=cd.iso # if cdrom is scsi

Make sure cd/dvd is not mounted before using above commands.

To make iso from files inside a particular folder of hardisk (ex: /tmp/myfiles/):
mkisofs -o /tmp/cd.iso /tmp/myfiles/

After making isos, you perhaps want to check your isos:
Mount iso:
mount -t iso9660 -o loop cd.iso /mnt/isoimage
Then open with konquerer to view.
Unmount iso:
umount /mnt/isoimage

Good luck

Easiest way: just do a 'tohd' (poorman's) install. Essentially this copies the CD to the HD & sets up to run it from there just as if it were running from the CD. There are problems if your HD is formatted NTFS however.
There is a how to in the docs.

I doubt that dd with help, ISO has some encoding and formating to it. dd is Raw.
