Oh, you already did a HD install!  Then you have to edit your lilo.conf file so that it boots with the right vga options.

You did the HD install, you say ?  If so, then do the following:
sudo vi /etc/lilo.conf

Now, on the very first line of that file, there should be something that says VGA=798 or something like that.  Change that so it says VGA=789.  Then quit out of that (:w!q) and then run the command lilo.  That'll rebuild the lilo.conf file and the next time you boot, it'll work in 800x600x24bit.

Now, if you're doing it from the CD, then from the boot: prompt, type:
knoppix vga=789 (whatever other options you want)

They both do the same thing, but one's for booting from the HD, the other's from the CD.
