vncserver referred to by another package
When attempting to install the package vncserver via the 'apt-get install vncserver' command it returns the following error stating:
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Package vncserver is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source
E: Package vncserver has no installation candidate
According to what I determined from reading the error and searching for similiar errors I've determined that I need to download the package from an alternate location. Can anyone tell me what that location is and if there is anything special I need to do to install a VNC server for my Knoppix live cd?

I don't know why you get such an error, but you can allways download vncserver directly from Debian
vncserver - http://packages.debian.org/stable/x11/vncserver
vnc-common - http://packages.debian.org/stable/x11/vnc-common (This is required by vncserver)
xvncviewer - http://packages.debian.org/stable/x11/xvncviewer (If you want a client also)
There's also newer version of that program, which you might want to use instead:
vnc4server - http://packages.debian.org/stable/x11/vnc4server
vnc4-common - http://packages.debian.org/stable/x11/vnc4-common (This is required by vnc4server)
xvnc4viewer - http://packages.debian.org/stable/net/xvnc4viewer (If you want a client also)
After you've downloaded them, just install them with sudo dpkg -i FILENAME
