Knoppix is a live linux distro which means you dont need to install it on a hdd. Just pop in the CD and boot from it and you have linux running.

For any other distro installation, if you dont have much knowledge, try to get a separate hdd or get a free partition or free space , which would make the installation really simple by choosing the Use existing Free space option in the Setup Process.

If you are a newbie to linux, try working on Knoppix first and then move on to linspire or other linux distros.

You can install knoppix
su
knoppix -installer.

Linspire I don`t think you can install from the live cd .
