running out of space
I am running Knoppix on my laptop. I have 192 meg of memory. That isn't alot. When I run apt-get update, I run out of memory. I would like
to take the relevant directories and remount them on a large usb drive. I can't quite figure out the mount remount syntax. Any ideas?

Running out of RAM is not the same as running out of hard drive space.
If you are short on RAM then moving files to a larger hard drive will not make much difference.
You need to set aside a swap space of around 500MB. You can also try starting a desktop with a lower memory footprint like xfce.
The knoppix cheatcode
desktop=xfce
is one way around this. You can even work in console mode by changing to init 2 and running apt-get update from the console.
