Unable to access dpkg area: read-only filesystem.
 
I'm attempting to install my modem drivers with KPackage in Knoppix. I enter my root password, select the .deb file, and it returns:

Code:

dpkg: unable to access dpkg area. Read-only filesystem.
Any ideas as to how to fix this/what this is?

Knoppix as in hard-drive install or as in live
CD? In the latter case you may be out of luck :)


Cheers,
Tink

Bugger, LiveCD. Why would they include KPackage if you can't use it?

Tinkster 11-26-2004 01:07 AM

Because KDE tools commonly come in "bundles".
If you don't get KPackage you may lack other things
you'd actually miss (even in a live CD).


Cheers,
Tink
