uhm, oops.
you have downloaded the Ariadne version, it is aimed at "blind" persons, try for one named knoppix only.
knoppix DE is the German language version, knoppix EN is the English.

especially these two parts

Ps
you can still get regular knoppix by typing knoppix at the "boot:" prompt and hitting enter, downside is you have to remember doing it every boot.
