What are you trying to do?

If you installed knoppix why do you need to run it?

what type of install did you do?
how are you booting? (lilo or grub; cd-rom, floppy, or hdd)

I gather you're trying to get to a desktop - if so try typing 'kdm' at the prompt; if that does not work try 'init 5' then 'kdm'.
