I realize that the surest way to do a Linux compatibility check is to do a full installation of everything. But, how would you perform a quick check with a KNOPPIX CD under the conditions mentioned above?

You probably will have to get the salesperson involved anyway, simply because they'll have the BIOS password protected and you won't be able to configure the unit to boot off the CD. (And booting into graphical mode will let you know if the video chipset and sound chipset works "out of the box".)
About the only other thing you can do is to forego Knoppix altogether and use the Device Manager in Windows to see what hardware is in the box and then checking the compatibility of that hardware, which is quite painful and prone to error.
