I generally think that trying to slide the chore of installing an entire 
OS "under the rug" with KNOPPIX is harmful for GNU/Linux in the long 
run. If people don't need to install it by themselves, you could always 
show them pre-installed and perfectly configured systems.

Having said that, feel free to use the material at 
http://andrew.cmu.edu/~apapadop/stuco/  to get an idea of what some 
people think introductions to GNU/Linux should look like :-)
