Knoppix? You seriously intend to do audio work based on Knoppix? As I
understand Knoppix, it's for taking a look at how Linux works. I would
certainly not count on it for anything beyond a display case sort of
demonstration.
If you seriously want to work with audio, if all this effort you talk
about is really important to you, install Linux on your hard drive.
Planet CCRMA or Agnula would be good choices as they're skewed toward
audio work.

If Linux doesn't solve your computing problem, you need a different problem.
