A couple of things that you can add:
What version of Knoppix
Whether you're running from CD ot a HD install
Did you apt-get update before you tried apt-get install...
HTH
sh-3.1# apt-get install debmirror
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
E: Couldn't find package debmirror
.
What is it one has to do in order to get and work with debmirror?
.
thanks

it's definitely available
in Kpackage
and listed in the new section
so the update would be required before apt-get knew the package existed
Right! First, I should have gone: "apt-get update"
.
However I still don't get debmirror to actually build a local mirror and I can't see what mistake I have made in my debmirror command
.
Could it possibly be the debian mirrors? I have used like 4 different ones

well, that's slightly different
just a sec ....
I said it was available,
i didn't look to see if it errored while trying to get it
though yours said it downloaded
must be something screwy
