@ Karibu
You may want to 'automate' your new-found cheatcodes.
What you will then want to do is to modify the file /mnt-system/boot/syslinux/syslinux.cfg.
Take a look at this file with leafpad or gedit.
AS ROOT, make a copy of this and call that /mnt-system/boot/syslinux/syslinux.cfg.orig.
Notice there are many three line stanzas of LABEL\KERNEL\APPEND.
Probably all you will need to do add, AS ROOT, one or more cheatcodes to the end of ONE of the
APPEND lines and save this as a new syslinux.cfg file.
So, first we need to know which cheatcodes you find useful, and whether or not you
want adriane as a default.
At this point you can either experiment or ask more questions. Your call.
If things get crazy, AS ROOT, use the sylinux.cfg.orig to restore syslinux.cfg.

Thank you. utu, for your excellent support!
In my last post I only listed all the reactions to the corresponding cheatcode to your information.
What works in my case is either one of pos. 2) - 4).
I do not need the Adriane version.
I would like to use the code - either "nomodeset, nodrm, or nocomposite - actually only the one
which is solving the graphics issue and is least limiting the functionality of other parts of the system.
Please let me know what the optimal would be.

Assuming the first line in your /mnt-system/boot/syslinux/syslinux.cfg is
DEFAULT knoppix
I would first change it to the following:
DEFAULT knoppix nodrm nomodeset
If that boots in about 60 seconds and your graphics seem reasonable to you,
I might quit right there; or you could start seeing just how much 3d stuff works.
With this change to syslinux.cfg you can either let the boot prompt time-out
in 5 or 6 seconds or hit <enter> right away.
So go ahead and give it a try.
AS ROOT, make a backup, make your change, and reboot.

These are the beginning lines of my /boot/syslinux/syslinux.cfg down to the knoppix labels:

Do I have to #-out all adriane related lines and then make knoppix DEFAULT?

No, change line 1 from "DEFAULT adriane" to "DEFAULT knoppix", if you want the group starting with "LABEL knoppix" to be your default.
If you want the group "LABEL knoppix" to be your default, change within this group the "APPEND" line as you need and do the same to line 2 of syslinux.cfg.

Greetings Karibu & Werner.
I hope we haven't confused Karibu too much here.
Karibu apparently downloaded an adriane cd or dvd.
I think adriane & knoppix versionse may be exactly identical
except for the first line in syslinux.cfg.
I've always thought the first APPEND line was pretty much redundant if we
are only talking about knoppix or adriane as DEFAULT choices.
I think Karibu DOES NOT want the adriane mode.
I prefer to put graphics cheatcodes on the DEFAULT line, since they will be
probably be needed in most all cases.
That said, I'd make Karibu's DEFAULt line knoppix nodrm nomodeset and try it out:
DEFAULT knoppix nodrm nomodeset
I'd probably next try out just knoppix nomodeset to see which is better.
As an alternative he could put cheatcodes into the APPEND lines, but they
only count in the stanza designated by the DEFAULT declaration.
I don't think the order of the cheatcodes matters.
I will admit, Werner is the pro and I am not, so caveat emptor.

Thank you, utu&Werner....I'm working on it later..I'll keep you posted.
BTW what means "caveat emptor" I guess it's latin?

If you append cheatcodes at line 2, they will only be used by Knoppix, if you boot without any additional cheatcodes.
But if you start a session perhaps with "knoppix noimage". Knoppix doesn't use line 2 but the Append line within group at "LABEL knoppix". Therefore insert your permanent wished settigs also in this group.

Thank you! This is what I did:
## Changed "DEFAULT adriane" to "DEFAULT knoppix" and added cheatcode "nomodeset" to "APPEND" line of knoppix, Feb.29,2011
DEFAULT knoppix
APPEND ramdisk_size=100000 lang=en vt.default_utf8=0 apm=power-off initrd=minirt.gz nomce libata.force=noncq
hpsa.hpsa_allow_any=1 loglevel=1 tz=localtime nomodeset
TIMEOUT 100

I found a minor difference between the two:
ADRIANE comes with Chrome and KNOPPIX comes with Icewisel
EDIT: Where can I mark the issue [SOLVED]?
