As my Knoppix/Debian loads, it appears to load ACPI - maybe I need to adjust a

Hrm. I couldn't say, I fear -- I don't use ACPI on my laptop, only APM.
It is possible that the ACPI system doesn't support your hardware well
enough to power it off, or that as you say, some assembly is required.
Alternately, there is probably a way to get the system to use APM
(acpi=off on the kernel command line, I believe, is a good start) and
that may work of you...
