The iso finally downloaded last night and I burned the image onto the CD this morning. Unfortunately I was not able to get Knoppix to load a GUI without having to pass boot options.

First, I had to use the nousb option even to get past the first stages of hardware detection. The framebuffer was also used.

This is the boot option that works to a text login.
Sadly this doesn't load X but allows a look around.

This is the boot option to get to a KDE session
If you want to use XFce or another GUI then just add that to the boot option string.

PS. Just for kicks I also used the linux26. ;)

Now this doesn't get wireless by default. So, I'm going to play around and see if it is possible. Anyone given it a try?
