The cheat code line to use with the LiveCD and LiveUSB (and I guess the HD install) is:
Code:
knoppix desktop=kde
but there is a but ....
You need the MAXI edition on DVD - the CD edition doesn't have the space for KDE and all the other software. I guess the HD install basically copies all the DVD to your HD giving all the options you get with the DVD but since I've never installed to HD I don't know for sure.
You'll find the Leave button does not offer the options to Shutdown or Reboot
. I think that's because there is no KDM. I find kate and konqueror behave themselves - start them under LXDE and they always start in full-screen mode.

it is hd installl and i pretty sure cheat codes wont work then

You can create a file /etc/sysconfig/desktop with the line and restart your Xsession. The script /etc/init.d/knoppix-startx will read that file and start the KDE session. Most probably you will need to change the permissions of the directory /var/tmp to 777 before you start your KDE session or you will be caught in an endless loop.
Code:
sudo chmod 777 /var/tmp
should do the trick.

That endless loop thing, would that be like starting it up and having it say initiating start up over and over again?
-
and for creatin the file in sysconfg, do i just right click and new file?

You need to be root if you want to write that config file. I would suggest that you issue the command
Code:
sudo leafpad /etc/sysconfig/desktop
in a terminal. Don' forget to save your file after you have written the line DESKTOP="kde".
I received the error message "call to lnusertemp failed (temporary directories full ?).Check your installation" in a window with an OK button only. After having clicked on that button the KDE session terminated and restarted with the same error message. I searched the web and found the solution
Code:
sudo chmod 777 /var/tmp
Some solutions included the additional command
Code:
sudo chmod o+t /var/tmp
but I am not sure if this step is necessary.

right on it worked, thank you. I'm just learning linux and i didn't find lxde too flexible
