It works, but whats the point? I mean, if you are willing to put knoppix on your hard drive, you obviously must use it often. So, that begs the question, if you use knoppix often, why limit your installation? The poor mans install doesnt allow installing additional software (I think). If you are going to commit some HD space for a permanent install of knoppix, why not just install it the right way? The benifits of a full install greatly exceed the inconvenience of partitioning.
