Hello,

I installed the DVD edition of Knoppix on my notebook, first everything went smooth,
but then I had problems with /var/libs/dpkg/status which had to be replaced (-> earlier thread)
now debconf is corrupt/missing and due to that I can't install any packages.

apt-get install debconf

any advice how to solve that?

would I be better up to reinstall it using the normal cd?
