where are the downloaded archive files on a liveCD session?

[tenmoi]

Hello, With version 6.2 I know they are in /var/cache/apt/archives. This holds true for even a live session. Now that I am running knoppix 6.4.3 liveCD and they are nowhere to be seen. I don't want to update and install from my chroot environment. Thank you.

... I don't understand your question. Also with "not-remastered" 6.2.1CD there are no downloaded archives stored in this directory. The only difference are

/var/cache/apt/pkgcache.bin
/var/cache/apt/srcpkgcache.bin

no more in 6.4.3CD.

Thanks, Werner. But I think I made my question quite clear. However, I solved the problem myself. And for those who may run into it, here's where the downloaded archive files are stored: 1. Fire up Pacman file manager 2. Clear the address bar. Type the forward slash (/). Hit 'Enter'. Now is the time to go to /var/cache/apt/archives. P.S. On Ubuntu, Fedora, and OPenSuse you have the 'filesystem' tab in your file manager. On a Knoppix's live session, you get to the 'filesystem' with a slash.

Thanks, Werner. But I think I made my question quite clear.

... no, you didn't told us having problems to use PCManFM.

By the way - why do you not use MidnichtCommander as root?
