Hi, I run Knoppix 7.0.3 on a USB pendrive installed from the Live CD. When I try to open S.P.M. I get the mesage that an error occurred and I'm asked to report it. I attached a screenshot which gives more details. What can I do to fix that?
Greetings, Karibu.
This is an unfortunate problem with 703-CD.
Just go to a command line and do apt-get update & wait for this to finish;
then go back to Synaptic and it should be ok.

Greetings, utu
and thank you for helping me...YES, issue solved!

PS.: Now that I have SMP working...is it possible to get the GNOME desktop environment as an additional sesssion to choose from by installing the "gnome" package?
I want to show off a bit at my "Windows" or "Mac" friends what I can do with Linux/Knoppix. :cool:

I can't help you with gnome, but I suggest you might compare boot-up-to-on-line times,
and see how we stand.

Sorry, utu, for bothering you, but I don't know what you mean by " ...compare boot-up-to-on-line times...":oops:
Please, give me an hint...
On my laptop, when new, Windows 7 would boot-up and get on line in
about 60 seconds. Knoppix 7 gets there in 34 to 40+ seconds, depending
on whether we're discussing CD or DVD versions.
