Do not use "knx-hdinstall" anymore. "knx-hdinstall" is no longer maintained, use "knoppix-installer" instead.

See this for a complete guide :

Did you bother to ask for Knoppix version he was using? knoppix-installer is default with Knoppix 3.6 onwards. knoppix-installer project which includes a GUI installation wizard was in development at that time.

@crashuniverse, could you tell some things,
Did you install boot loader in the MBR? do you have two harddisks? Did the installer give any error/warning message which installing lilo?
