I have read that RPM is a format that red hat users take advantage of, but can I install RPMs on my hard drive installed knoppix?
How would I go about installing an RPM?

use K-menu } System | Kpackage
make sure you have /etc/lib/rpm folder

You can use the command 'alien' - either to convert the rpm to a .deb package or to install directly:-
alien -i package.rpm
(the '-i' is short for '--install')
So far, this has worked very well for me. I normally do this from the Knoppix 'root shell'
Good luck.....
