I just tried to get knoppix on my thumb drive for a second time and I got the same error when I tried to boot. Has anyone gotten knoppix on a thumb drive to boot? Please help.
Which version of Knoppix are you using? 5.1.1 should have the fixmbr utility and as far as I know, every version of Knoppix at least from 3.4 has had the fixmbr tool.
