If the compiling process results in files that are written to the "read only" section of the file system, such as /usr/src, then compiling via livecd will fail. You could attempt to create a writable file system, similar to the Synaptic Installation Script in DSL but unless you have a ton of memory you are almost guaranteed to run out of INODES because the Knoppix filesystem is much larger than the DSL file system.
Compiling the kernel will result in a bunch of new modules and configuration files that go beyond just the new vmlinuz kernal image file, so I doubt that just copying that one file over to another storage device will work properly unless your newly compiled kernel is the EXACT SAME VERSION as the already installed kernel.
Good Luck.
