It's not an undected feature - it was discussed here and in www.linuxtag.org/forum several times.
Just mount the knoppix cdrom in windows,
---------------- sorry this is wrong ------------------
make a c:\knoppix dir and
copy the contents of the cd to c:\knoppix.
------------------------ use this instead ---------------------
copy the \knoppix dir from the cd to c:\

Make a boot floppy with mkfloppy.bat.

:P And - using the boot floppy knoppix will boot from your FAT partition
of cause it's not running from FAT - its running from the decompressed C:\knoppix\knoppix.

It's just like booting from cdrom - and you can use your cd drive or burner.

It's also possible to run knoppix this way without a boot disk, using a linux boot manager (lilo or grub)
but that's another story.
