Knoppix 7.0.5 USB installer (experimental) fix for Dummies
As a new user to Knoppix, and Linux in general, I could not get Knoppix 7.0.5 (Experimental) to install on my USB due to the error message saying that the overlay must be set at 400MB.
I read Straute’sposts, 11 and 21, over and over trying as a FNG to understand what he was advising Philo to do and most importantly, how to do it. So with the little UNIX knowledge I have, I ventured down the following path.
To apply this fix/patch I used vi editor. Google “vi editor commands” if you’re not familiar with vi
1- Open a terminal window and at the “knoppix@Microknoppix:-$” prompt type su then hit[Enter]
2- At the “root@Microknoppix:/home/knoppix#” prompt type “cd /usr/bin” hit [Enter]
3- At the next prompt type “vi flash-knoppix2 [Enter]
4- At the #!/bin/bash prompt, use your down arrow key to scroll down to line “367,1.
You should be on the line that reads “total="$(awk '{print ($1 / 2048 )}'/sys/block/"${FLASH##*/}"/size 2>/dev/null)"
5- Use your right arrow key to scroll over to “total="$(awk'{print”
6- Place your cursor just after the word {print_” and press the letter “i” to Insert characters.
7- Make these changes: {printf ("%d", ($1 / 2048 ) )}’
8- Hit the ESC key, then type “:wq [Enter]” to write and save your changes to flash-knoppix2.
9- Open another terminal window and again type su [Enter]
10- Type “cd /user/bin/ [Enter]”
11- Type “ flash-knoppex2 [Enter]
12- When the “flash-knoppix (as superuser)” window opens, select your USB drive and click on [OK]
13- At the next window select option “p” and click on [OK]
14- You can now proceed with the install without the “overlay must be set at400MB’ message
I hope this is of some helpto those new to Linux and newer to Knoppix.

Nicely done and welcome to the forum.
Your helpful tutelage should be much appreciated.
IMO vi is for experts. Not having a UNIX background, per se,
I retreated to Leafpad (or its equivalent) long ago.
Regards, and please continue contributing.

KK has already corrected this error with
Code:
..
elif [ "p" = "$METHOD" ]; then
total="$(awk '{print int($1 / 2048)}' /sys/block/"${FLASH##*/}"/size 2>/dev/null)"
..
