Since you have knoppix you can install debian packages.  "apt-cache show
big-cursor" says in part:

  Package: big-cursor
  ...
  Description: larger mouse cursors for X
   This package provides some large mouse cursors for use under X. It's useful
   for laptop users, for those running X at very high resolutions, and for
   anyone who finds it hard to see the default mouse cursors.

If you use gnome or kde, they might be setting their own cursors, but
it's worth a try.
