I should add this is the Knoppix 3.3 2004-12-16 version.
I just did a hard-disk install of Knoppix 3.3 and I am
about to install VMWARE. The VMWARE manual says that
the real time clock must be compiled into the kernel and
CONFIG_PARPORT_PC=m must have been used to compile the
kernel.
Maybe this is a general linux question, but how can I
tell if the Knoppix3.3 "stock" kernel had CONFIG_PARPORT_PC
set to m when it was compiled, or does anyone happen to
know the answer?
Also, any ideas on what problems I would hit in VMWARE if
it was set to 'y' and I try it anyway? I suppose my
parallel port won't work, which is OK, but any other
side-effect problems possible? (Maybe this is more of
a VMWARE question).
Thanks!

Issues resolved!
I found file /boot/config-2.4.24-xfs, which I assume has
the options of the stock kernel. It does have a line:
CONFIG_PARPORT_PC=m
Also, I did dmesg | grep -i real, and I got
Real Time Clock Driver v1.10e
So, it seems I do not need to re-compile before trying
VMWARE.
Very Nice!
