Accidental full HD install.. probably not optimal

Where is this "Knoppix menu -> Configure" menu item? The closest thing I could find is "System menu -> Preferences", but there is no mention of persistent disk image.
I use KNOPPIX_V6.4.4CD-2011-01-30-EN.iso

There is no persistent image with full HD installs of Knoppix. The files are directly accessible on the ReiserFS file system where Debian (Knoppix variety) is installed. It's just to create, modify and delete files like on any other normal computer setup.
You having to ask about this, indicates that a full HD install may not be the optimal thing for you. Starting with running Knoppix off a USB pendrive, with a persistent store on that, would almost certainly have been better, for with the full HD install, you have got a lot more to administer, and a lot more possibly going wrong for you. Knoppix is a full Unix system, with all the complexities that belong, it is certainly not optimised for beginner users.
As a next step, you could have copied the KNOPPIX directory from the pendrive (that would then include your persistent store) to harddisk, and continued using it as before, only running from the harddisk instead of the pendrive. That's the "poor man's install" (PMI) utu is speaking of.
Only after outgrowing the PMI, a full hard disk install is the thing for you. But by then, you will have learned quite a lot about system administration.
