knoppix does not know but usually it's the first non-windoze partition in 
the list of partitions and knoppix has all the tools you need to do it, 
including making icons for all prtitions found so you can look for 
yourself using the gui desktop. Then you open an editor and edit it. 
Running lilo requires opening a shell of course.
