For example, I noticed that I could overwrite files in /etc by simply deleting the originals first. Is there some similar trick to writing to /usr/sbin or perhaps an alternative method for installing DDClient.
Here's hoping, but I suspect this sweetzip person is not going to see this.
Oh well, can't hurt to try.
Instructions:

cp ddclient to /home/knoppix/sbin or a similar directory ...

Change:

/etc/init.d/ddclient

and set:

DAEMON=/home/knoppix/sbin/ddclient

Congratulations, ddclient should work now )
