I was hoping someone else would respond as I'm not exactly conversant in
KNOPPIX. Since no one has yet, though, I'll take a stab...

Choose an install package based on your platform / distribution /
architecture rather than the current filesystem layout. Since KNOPPIX is
based on Debian, I'd go with Nessus-3.0.3-debian3_i386.deb. And since it
will want to install into /opt/nessus, uninstall the instance of Nessus
2.x first to avoid conflicts.

Not me. Never even tried it.
