I recently downloaded the Knoppix 6.0 Lite live CD and installed on a 4GB USB KEY (formatted to look like a ZIP drive).
The installation works great. However, I downloaded Skype ( the Debian version ) and can not get it to install.
I get a couple of errors about missing libraries. I think they were libqt4-core and libqt4-gui, or something like that.
Unfortunately I am currently on my Windows system and did not save the errors so I could retrieve them here.

Can anybody help me with this issue? If absolutely necessary I can boot up the Linux system and recreate the errors
to give you the exact errors.

Thanks for the help. And by the way, I like Knoppix.

The answer was in another post. Here it is:

apt-get update
cd ~/Desktop
dpkg -i skype-debian_2.0.0.72-1_i386.deb
apt-get -f install

Of course this assumes that the Skype download is on the Desktop
