With a full Knoppix you should be able to "apt-get update && apt-get 
upgrade" after install and maybe one reboot.  I would not recommend a 
dist upgrade however.  Everything I have read warns against it.  There 
is now some decent install documentation on Knoppix.net, use the search 
feature at the top of the page and search for install.
