Ok, with a bit of more experimentation with Knoppix I have started to 
see its limits for computers with minimal resources.

One is that, when I insert an additional USB drive, some of the file 
managers provided don't see it, only Thunar file manager sees and 
accesses it.

Second is (on a 4 GB RAM machine), in Thunar, when I attempt to copy a 
file from the HDD to a second USB drive, it goes through as if it wants 
to do it as usual, but as soon as I click "paste" in the second drive, 
Thunar closes down. When I bring Thunar back up, sometimes nothing is 
pasted in the second drive and sometimes stuff are partially pasted. 
Never a complete copy. And this happens silently without any error messages.

But that is with a 4 gb RAM machine. I tried it just a few minutes ago 
with another old computer that has 8 GB RAM and the copying with Thunar 
worked flawlessly. So 4 gb definitely is not enough RAM for Knoppix.
