Yep. Knoppix runs directly off the CD, its known as a Live CD. You don't
need to have a working (or any) linux on the system that you demo it on.
You can download it from ftp://debian.co.nz/isos/Knoppix/ if you have a
CDR and want to have a look at it. Also, it might be interested to read

I have just installed Debian woody. So far it is working well.
I booted from the boot floppies with the compact kernel, then installed from
the Internet.
