OK, then I guess I should also mention, in addition to Knoppix prior to 5.3.1 being unsafe to write to NTFS (the jury isn't in on 5.3.1 yet, I don't trust it, but I may value my data more than you do) it is also problem prone to install Knoppix at all (see this), I know of no reason to install Knoppix rather than do a cleaner and more stable Debian install.
