I wasn't aware that there was going to be a new Knoppix release in the near future; I don't follow the goings-on in the Debian world all that closely. I just looked on knopper.net, saw that the current version being offered there was significantly newer than the one I had been using, and decided to update.

And, for the benefit of those who might in the future see the heading of this thread and expect to get a straightforward answer to the question posed there: it's here, it's just a little buried, so here's a "no brainer" version of how to do it:

1. Boot the Knoppix installation in question by typing "knoppix noimage" at the "boot:" prompt.
2. When it's finished booting, open a terminal window and type the following series of commands, one by one:
Code:
 
su

losetup /dev/loop1 /mnt-system/KNOPPIX/knoppix-data.img

fsck /dev/loop1
Note that this assumes that the problem you're trying to correct came into being in the process of using the USB key, and didn't already exist in the CD or DVD image that you used to make the USB key. (That is to say, this will only repair changes to the filesystem that were made while using it, and will not change anything from the way it was originally created.)
