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 the list archive discussion about it, starting here, http://lists.ethernal.org/cantlug-0208/msg00184.html
