Which VNC server will run reliably on Knoppix (KnoppMyth distro)? Also, I don't even have FTP on my box. How do I get and FTP client running on that box?

You might want to check out a VNC program and connect that way. You'll be able to run mythfrontend from a remote desktop and won't have screen size issues. At least you'll have the keyboard.
Howerver, you'll want to fix the screen size anyway. I think there are two things to play with: Setup -> Appearance -> GUI height/width/offset; and TV Settings -> Playback -> Overscan.

I am having a problem trying to navigate through the setup. For example, in mythtv-setup, I am able to move to the desired fields using arrows and tabs, but not able to use any pull-down menus. Is there a way to do any or all of the following:
1. Use a mouse in the MythTV user and setup menus?
2. Use a dual screen setup, where I can do the stuff on the monitor and watch the TV on the TV. Alternately, can I at least get the non-graphical terminal on the monitor? Right, it boots on the monitor and switches to the TV and that is very hard to read. On the monitor all I see is a blinking cursor.
3. Can I set up a telnet server on the myth box? If so, how.
One other thing, I once helped someone else when they were setting up myth, and I remember there was some configuration to change the screen sizes so parts of it would not be cut off. Where can I change that? I have not been able to find it since.
I am newbie, so apt-get install is about as far as I can go for install issues unless there is a step-by-step procedure for the task.
Any help welcome,
Thanx,
