What I'm looking for is a way to run quick compatibility checks

I'd prefer to use terminal commands to do quick checks just to
see if a computer is fully compatible with Linux. However, this
doesn't exclude an Xwindows approach if there is one.
You're going to have to boot off the CD to do the test. Once you do
that, Knoppix will try to boot into its graphical environment anyway.
There's no way to use a shell from it without booting.
You could suppress the graphical environment, but why?
