If you're still using a Knoppix install you can add the user to the sudo
group.

grep "username" /etc/group

username being the name of the user you want to change.

usermod -G sudo username

If the grep returned a bunch of groups add them to 'sudo' with commas and n=
o
spaces, e.g. 'sudo,dialout,users,audio'.

Jeremy's suggestion is the usual route, though.
