The one thing I can't find is a way to install Shockwave which some web sites use for video operation and I can't get Flashplayer to run them. I haven't had a chance to see if there was a Linux Shockwave clone or something that would work to run them. Do you happen to know if there is a program that will run ShockWave vids?
You are obviously doing lots of unncessesary extra work.
The straightforward method to play Adobe Flash, which seems to work for me, is to use Synaptic and install the non-free flash plugin, in Synaptic it is listed as flashplugin-nonfree.

Furthermore, it seems that all may not be well with your file systems - another reason to setup somethin really simple, like FAT32, on a volume, and copy in Knoppix the way I have described. That way, write access is to just one file, the loop-mounted persistent image file knoppix-data.img.

But you are of course free to make things as much of an hassle as you like.
