I was following a guide a put in a command to make a directory. However, this is what I got:
knoppix@ttyp0[knoppix]$ mkdir /mnt/captive-LABEL_C
mkdir: cannot create directory `/mnt/captive-LABEL_C': Permission denied
How can I get permissions to make a directory there?

Type this instead to give yourself Super User rights:
su mkdir /mnt/captive-LABEL_C
That should solve the problem.
I thought sudo was used? (I'm a newbie though...)

--You are correct, sudo should be used instead of su.

Right, use sudo for one command use su for multiple (you have to type su by itself first though)
