I'm not sure what's happening, but it sounds like it COULD be a corrupt copy of Knoppix. One option, if you haven't gotten far in using the installed version you have been on, is to just erase the KNOPPIX folder and replace it - using a verified copy. I'd run the md5sum on the ISO image and see if it is a good download, or boot the CD/DVD and use the "verify" option before re-copying. Is there any chance that the hardware is bad, or is it working okay with another OS?

I ran knoppix testcd and it checked out fine. I have 256 MB of memory, and am running from the cd only. All I can think is that there isn't enough memory to handle the updates, but then how can I so easily run LXDE?

I think the amount of data you get on sudo apt-get update using the pre-configured apt repositories is HUGE - and IMHO 256 MB is barely enough to get reasonable performance in the first place, though the flash storage is more critical for the update and install. One option is to simply get the .deb file and install it manually with either dpkg (command-line installer) or gdebi (GUI installer) started from the LXTerminal window.
Hope that helps!
