Hello, one of the cool things about Linux is goofing around with different 
distros.  For example, on one box, I've done ubuntu 5.04,   Knoppix 3.6 and 
3.8.1, and Damn Small 1.0.   The problem is where did povray go?  I'm 
guessing I installed it under Knoppix 3.8 but now I'm trying to find it 
under DS1.0.  I remember the icon being on the screen at that time but don't 
see it now.

What directories from the top would it likely have gone to?

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.

If I remember recent posting in povray.off-topic Knoppix 3.8 is able to
install, see http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/wlg/6654 (although my knowledge
about it is close to 0).
