You might try Kubuntu instead of Knoppix.  It has K3B by default IIRC, 
and the install disk is also a live CD.  If everything works by well, 
you could go the next step and install Kubuntu directly.

Also, Quicken has perl modules that allow you to access its data.  
Perhaps that is not important.  IIRC, the Quicken database is an open 
published format as of a few years ago.
