Hello i`m a real real newbie in this so i have encountered a lot of problems but the one that i couldn`t get past was this:
I have Knoppix live CD v3.3, i have a /home dir saved on the hdd and a myconfig saved .... now my problem is ... i d/l the yahoo messenger for debian, i copyed it in the /home dir and tryed
dpkg -i name_of_the_file.deb
but i got a eroor message :
dpkg: unable to access dpkg status area: Read-only file system

maybe i don`t understand quite good the knoppix working mode,but if i have a /home on the hdd why does it say that??

(i have also tryed to unpack the .deb and run it from the dir but it doesn`t find the .bin file and i don`t know how to declare the libraries yet)

p.s. don`t hit me too hard if the question is stupid ...

good to find u all!
