What if you put the HD of the each of the other system
as a second drive in the first installed system. Then
boot up using Knoppix, mount both drives, and copy from
drive1 partition to drive2 partition, for each partition
Since your on knoppix, you won't be updateing the HD.

Shutdown, disconnect from drive2, connect as drive1 in second
machine, and it should boot fine.

Repeat for each machine.

George
