Sorry for the confusion...ddrescue does not come with the package. I had to download it like this...
Code:
  download ddrescue wget http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/ddrescue/ddrescue-1.8.tar.bz2 # extract the source code tar xjf ddrescue-1.8.tar.bz2
I tried your suggestion and this is what I get...
Code:
 root@Microknoppix:~# apt-get install g++ Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree        Reading state information... Done E: Couldn't find package g
I also did the update and it download 20Mb's of data and still I can't make.
