Notice also the difference - in knoppix 6.2 the the list of supported locales is in /var/lib/belocs/locales.dep not in /var/lib/locales/supported.d/local as the article says. Knoppix uses belocs-locales package instead of locales that's the reason for this difference

Here is the final polished solution to the problem of displaying characters properly in terminal and all other programs using default locale.
Open and edit /etc/locale.gen
There are many preconfigured locales inside, just find the right one and unmark it. If it does not exist - create it. For example If you want all your menus and programs to be displayed in English, but you need Cyrillic phonetic characters to be properly displayed then type:
en_US.CP1251 CP1251 and save the file. Unmark any other locales which you would need in the future as well.
Next step is to generate the locales using:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales
By default knoppix uses belocs-locales, so you might have to to this using:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure belocs-locales-bin
After this is done open /etc/init.d/knoppix-autoconfig and navigate to line 290, just below
*) # American version.
Edit LANG="C" to LANG="en_US.CP1251" or whatever locale you created. I also changed the line CHARSET="iso8859-1" to CHARSET="microsoft-cp1251" - although I am not sure if it's necessary.
Save and reboot. Done
If you want knoppix to boot by default in any of the preconfigured languages which are in knoppix-autoconfig, you will have to edit:
/mnt-system/boot/syslinux/syslinux.cfg - go to the line bellow LABEL knoppix,KERNEL linux and change LANG=en to whatever language you want knoppix to boot by default
Hope this was useful
