ImageMagick seems to be missing. I will add it for 0.5. In the meantime
please do:

    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get install imagemagick

Then you can use the command "import" to acquire a screenshot:

   import /home/knoppix/screenshot.png

Or you may just run the complete ISO under Qemu...
