My guess is that you have to create the file /etc/apt/preferences, but
I don't know much about knoppix. Anyway here is a link to a relevant
page in apt-howto.

http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-apt-get.en.html#s-default-version

If you get an error named invalid record then you may have made a
typing error in the file.
