Why answer a question with another question? This response did not give him the answer he was looking for. The correct answer is to start knoppix in text mode type knoppix 2 at the boot prompt. I boot my knoppix server in text mode because I also don't need the GUI 99% of the time and I don't want it hogging resources.
