You need to just go ahead and TRY this stuff - Knoppix is mostly useful if you learn by DOING. FWIW, I wouldn't bother with the pendrive approach, as the capability is built in nowadays. You can also buy it pre-installed on a new flash drive. The way to do it yourself is:

1) Do you have the latest Knoppix? That means 6.2.1 right now. Use the "Get Knoppix" link at the top of the forum if you don't have it. I'm assuming the download is done, and it's burned to a CD or DVD.

2) Boot it up. When you have the desktop up, go ahead and put the USB-flash drive in the PC.

3) Click the icon at the bottom-left (what would be Start if it was Windows.)

4) Navigate to 'Preferences'-'Install KNOPPIX to flash drive' and click (as shown on attachment.)

Hope that helps!
