The deb files have everything you need. They might have dependencies, though. (i.e. you can't install Gnome without X, so it will automatically try to fetch the X deb files for you). run: apt-get -d --print-uris install package (replace "package" with your desired package). You will get a list of packages uris to download elsewhere and copy to the knoppix machine.
