OK I indicated the path, this is what im doing.
first I log as root from the terminal

then I type dpkg -i /home/knoppix/desktop/skype.deb (I renamed the file from its original name to just skype so that I Wouldn't have to lose time typing the whole name again if I failed)
it tells me

dpkg: error processing /home/knoppix/desktop/skype (--install):
cannot access archive: No such file or directory
Errors were encountered while processing:
/home/knoppix/desktop/skype


I already tried typing skype.deb and skype, gives me the same error.
