What editors are available ?

You can use emacs or vi.

Can I see the list of software packages installed on this CDROM ?

The Knoppix CDROM uses the Debian Package management system.
A graphical tool that shows you the list of packages is kpackage, which can be started as K->System->KPackage. On the command line of a terminal, you can ask for a list of packages with the command

 dpkg-query -l

How do I make a screen shot ?

Under KDE, use the KSnapshot tool, which you can start as K->Graphics->KSnapshot.

How do I select/change the screen resolution ?

Under KDE, right-click in the Desktop area and select Configure Desktop -> Display -> Screen Resolution.

If you need a custom screen size, enter the screen size when booting from Knoppix. Enter the boot parameter screen with the desired resolution, for example: 'screen=1280x1024'

How do I save my work?

Check the Installation Instructions under the section 'Saving your work'.
