If you started knoppix from CD/DVD everything you install gets lost once
you reboot.

In any case POV-Ray by default (as root) installs to /usr/local (meaning
that the program will go to /usr/local/bin/povray and the include files
and sample scenes to usr/local/share/povray-3.6/.  If you do a user
install you have to specify the install location (which will be
somewhere in your $HOME.
