I don't think there is an easy way, though you can boot a Knoppix CD, use the partition programs (qtparted) to make some room for a dedicated /home partition.

You then install the newest Knoppix on the same partition as it was before, and edit /etc/fstab to mount the new partition as /home

There is a good walktrough in the docs on this site.
