installation on knoppix & nameserver problem
hi,
i am very much new to knoppix and linux.
i am using a knoppix live cd. i didn't install it on my HDD and i don't want to.
can i install any debian package on this knoppix live OS?
the answer i am leaning towards is 'NO'. can anybody confirm this?
second issue is, my network card is up and running and i can see the correct nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf
but i am not able to ping the nameserver. self pinging is working.
do i need to change the zone files in nameserver?
can anybody shed some light on this?
thanks,
vbn1234

Yes you can download debiam packages on the live cd but as the live CD is running in your computers RAM you will need to save them to a USB hard disk.
You first have to get your network properly setup and configured.
If your network card is up and running, first ping your router. If packets are returned ok, then ping an external address.
Some ISP's block the ping to their nameservers so what I suggest is ping an external internet address
ping -c4 www.google.com
If you see 4 packets returned from google then you should be able to browse the internet, and download packages.
Just run
apt-get update
then apt-get install package
e.g. apt-get install xboard
Hope that helps
