The answer to the question is there is a script called flash-knoppix which you can
run it from the commandline or you invoked it from the GUI :-

Code:
       $ su
       # flash-knoppix
Assuming that you are using LXDE, you can invoked it from the GUI :-

( LXDE menu ) --> Preferences --> "Install KNOPPIX to flash disk"
( bottom left icon )

You will typical only need 1 G flash for that purpose.
It depends - I used a DVD image which required about 4 GB.
But the resulting installation is again, like the live CD, whatever things you saved, are saved into the memory and are not persistent across reboot. To have persistency, this is when you will need about 4G or more space.
When choosing a size, one may freely pick a value that they find suitable. If only 500K was chosen, (for example) then that amount of space could be used for adding software, saving settings, downloading files etc. If more space is made available, then that means there'll be more room for such things in the extfs persistent store.
The system will prompt you for creation of persistent store when you boot up from the USB flash.
Knoppix (likewise, Linux generally) is VERY flexible, and it's difficult to pose such limits and have them apply "across the board" - there are lots of exceptions.
