I don't think this is really a sure thing for a 16 or 17 year old
tweaked Knoppix release? A quick look says the latest Quantian was
released March 1, 2006 and it's based on Knoppix 4 from 2005.

I can't remember when ISOs became hybrids that you can just dd to USB
stick or burn to DVD and boot from either but I think it was later than
2005. I remember in 2004 the ability to boot from USB wasn't a given by
any means. I only remember as I had a motherboard then which was really
picky about that.
