A better way of wording this:

Although Knoppix is designed and intended to be a full version of linux 
that can be run off a cd, it pulls a couple strings to make that happen 
and so some things have issues. He doesn't need a full running distro 
complete with gui just to dd a usb drive though, he can just boot an 
installer and drop into shell/rescue mode.
