I would simply never try that with Knoppix.
Even with ordinary installs (Debian, Fedora, Mandriva...), attempts at upgrades have given me far more troubles than benefits.
I believe the simplest way to upgrade, is to save the packages selection, eventual init stuff and your personal data. Then install a new version, save the new packeges selection and take the diff with the old package selection. You might make an attempt at just installing this packages lists altogether, but there may be problems. And some may be obsoleted, restrctured etc.
