Well, to install the .run file, you might try a couple of things. It's either a shell script (sh) or a binary (./).
You can try it as a shell script first. To do so, issue the command: "sh filename.run", without the quotes.
If that doesn't work, try: "./filename.run". One of those commands is bound to work.
KNOPPIX doesn't come with a default root password if I remember correctly. In one of the menu options, look for Root Shell. This will automatically put you in the root user account. Once you're in there, you can type "passwd" and it will ask you for a new password which you will have to enter in a second time, just for verification.
After you do that, you can go into a normal shell, and do a "su -" if you need to access something as root.
