In Knoppix 3.6 (and 3.4) the installer was renamed to knoppix-installer
(maybe there's a symlink with the older names) but yes when you install it,
it actually installs both the 2.4 and 2.6 kernels, and once it finishes,
you will get both kernels as boot options. 

To change to the 2.6 kernel by default, the most you might have to do is
edit /etc/lilo.conf and re-run lilo from the installed machine.
