It seemed that even as root, I couldn't do things easily from a virtual

I wanted to then alter the lilo.conf that comes with knoppix, hoping I could
change it to what I needed to boot my system. But, I couldn't edit
/etc/lilo.conf, it was a read only system. I suppose that was on the cdrom,
but, I just don't know.

In any event, knoppix wouldn't let me run lilo properly to fix my boot
problem.

It would if you had remounted your / filesystem read-write. There's nothing wrong with Knoppix.
