A linux program i need to run requires c shell and apparently my version of linux doesnt have it (when i type csh i get a command not found error). Can this problem be resolved with live cd knoppix or do i need to move onto another version of linux?

Update the repositories then
apt-get install csh
C Shell will be added, csh at a prompt will give you the familar # prompt.

Hello, I have the same problem, I'm not sure how to "Update the repositories"
I tried the command you gave and got "package csh is not available, but is referred to by another package. ...E: package csh has no installation candidate"
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Jwilli

I like aptitude , first you need a Root Terminal, from the knoppix penguin in 5.3
aptitude update -- wait for it to complete, (need internet connection)
aptitude install csh -- you can do
aptitude search csh to see if update found csh , (see info aptitude and aptitude --help)
You should be good to go. You will a hdd install or a persistent image or it will NOT keep.
Good luck 8) . Your mileage may vary.

Thanks for the advice,
I couldn't get that aptitude to work because I was using knoppix 5.1.1 live cd.
However, the good news is that Knoppix 5.3.1 live DVD already includes csh, so I finally got my script to work!!!
Yee-Haw!!
