I dont belive you can upgrade knoppix distro. Only
script shipped with knoppix is one to install
knoppix. Anywayz whatever you find exciting in new
knoppix distro can be easily installed using apt.

Say you want to move your home folder to /dev/hda5,
so this is how you do this.
-- Format /dev/hda5 and give it a label /home.
-- Move all the directories under /home from existing
installation to /dev/hda5
-- delete /home from existing installation
-- edit /etc/fstab and specify /dev/hda5 as /home
mount point with default values.
-- run mount and you will have your your /home from
/dev/hda5
-- repeat for other partitions and folders as per
need.
