It wasn't clear to me that the previous posts were talking about harddisk installation or flash installation, as the migration procedures will be totally different. Flash installation migration is a lot easier. You consider one of the following strategies :-

First method: On your 16 GB flash, cut it into two partitions, first partition is a much smaller FAT32 ( 1 G is more than enough ), and it will still keeping your syslinux and kernel there. The second partition is ext2, and you copy the entire existing /mnt-system/KNOPPIX ( including knoppix-data.img ) over there.

Knoppix autodetects KNOPPIX directory and perform all the work accordingly.

To get two partitions out of the original single partition 16GB flash, you can use fdisk or equivalent. There are some details need to make it bootable, install boot loader and so on.

Second Method: You need to install alternative bootloader into your 16GB flash, say using grub or extlinux. These will require you to know how to use grub or extlinux.

Last but not least, you can yet consider migrating the entire /mnt-system/KNOPPIX directory to your internal harddisk ( together with your existing file system on the internal harddisk). I do that. I use the flash for booting only. After booting, I can remove the flash.
