It is an old version of Knoppix...
I have little doubt that it will work on your system.
Hell ...Knoppix is meant to run on a hard drive as easily as from a mounted medium...disk or emulation.

I recall ...a few folks managing to update the Knoppix version to more current versions successfully...but that was way back then.
Doubtlessly...it would be almost impossible to bring it up to date nowadays.
Perhaps incrementally trying to bring it up to date ...may work...maybe...possibly.
Never tried that...so I am not sure.
Perhaps in the forum here there is more on the topic, of those who tried doing so.

As far as uploading it to the archive.
That is a good idea.
Once I have the time to sit down and dig it up, I'll do so.
