I haven't used knoppix outside of a liveCD, but if you want to do a "complete upgrade" be a pal and put linux on it's own partition. But here's some links that could help, I haven't tested them out/read them, but i think in a nutshell you just use qparted and don't click buttons when you don't know what they do...or edit the partition table while its mounted...not pretty.

strangely enough in this months linux format there is an article on how to re install linux
but it does assume you have linux on its own partition!!

i will see if i can do this!!
