As for setting your display, if Knoppix uses Xorg, you will find this info in xorg.conf (probably found as /etc/X11/xorg.conf). A .conf file is just a text file, like .ini files in Windows. There ought to be a program to help you out a bit with the configuration, such as /usr/X11R6/bin/xorgconfig or similar. However, I do believe Knoppix comes with various "cheat codes" that you can put in your boot prompt (the bit after boot: ). I don't have a disc handy but I think you can press F1 for a list of possible selections to help you.

It's entirely up to you of course, but if you want a distro to install to your hard drive, I don't recomment Knoppix. Maybe something more like Ubuntu. Both distos are Debian-based, so in both cases you get the huge Debian repos of programs and the nice apt-get package manager, but with Ubuntu you get something made for installation. In my opinion, Knoppix is made for the LiveCD format.
