I take it that X windows worked OK when booted to cd? If so read on...Sometimes you just need to copy XF86Config-4 from the cd to your hdd install. It's quite easy to do:
boot knoppix like normal.
I'll assume you installed knoppix to /dev/hda2
sudo mount /dev/hda2 /mnt/hda2
sudo mv /mnt/hda2/etc/X11/XF86Config-4 /mnt/hda2/etc/X11/XF86Config-4.orig
cp /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 /mnt/hda2/etc/X11/XF86Config-4
Do not use the desktop icons to mount your hdd. Do it by hand.
done
reboot

No...I believe he simply means for you to boot from the cd as you normally would...using cheatcodes if necessary, but letting it load KDE and all. This way you can get the configuration from the cd-boot and copy it to your hd-install. So load from the cd however you normally would and then you'll need to enter the code that he's posted using a console (such as Konsole).

The new way is knoppix-installer. You should run it just like you do knx-hdinstall...i.e. wait for everything to fully load, press Ctrl+Alt+F1 to get into the main shell and then type in knoppix-installer.

Observation
cannotgethostbyname() means you don't have a hostname.
This is becuase you seem to have named it with a space.....
i.e. dereks linux
the hostname in linux is VERY IMPORTANT.... I would strongly recommend changing this and rebooting afterwards....
if you edit /etc/hostname
and also
/etc/hosts
and and an underscore or better still just use letters.

No- Knoppix should boot into a fully graphical environment. It sounds like you really need to get Knoppix working w/ your hardware first of all. Ppost some hardware detyails please. Specifically graphics card/chipset and monitor type and specifications.
BTW knoppix-installer is the newest installation script.
