Feel free to laugh at my complete ignorance...

Knoppix is great. However, I understand there is much more software available on the CD than what appears in the menus by default (almost 2 GB, right?).

So how do you access all these other apps? I've seen lists of the Knoppix packages, but there are no clues about running or "installing" them from the CD.

I tried apt-get [package name], but it doesn't work. (I assumed Knoppix's package-source list pointed to itself...?)

I've searched this forum and other Knoppix sites, but couldn't find anything about this. Thanks for enlightening me (and you can stop laughing now).
