pdfetex is obsolete, it's pdftex now (for quite some time already); i don't know where knoppix gets its tex from
You could try symlinking /etc/texmf/web2c/pdfetex to pdftex or maybe the other way round. That trick worked for me when I was using pdftex 1.30. -Sanjoy `Not all those who wander are lost.' (J.R.R. Tolkien)
