anyone know how to use fprot with knoppix 5.1 LIVE.

ive read some threads on fprot but the instructions must not be the same for knoppix 5.1.

I've not used it on a recent KNOPPIX, but there used to be a GUI interface on KNOPPIX that would do everything for you. Have you tried that?

I ran my Knoppix 5.0 yesterday and did not see f-prot on it with a quick look around. It does have clamav now.

I found the answer to this yesterday. I followed these instructions and got it to run,

After my earlier post, I went back and checked with v5.1.1 and noticed this whole thing had changed since v3.4, which I was basing my post on. Back then, the "penguin menu" offered a choice of a "live installer" (knx-live-install.sh -- called something else in the menu) which would offer to install several packages including apt-get and f-prot from the Internet. The live installer played games that allowed these programs to run on a system where you couldn't write to large portions of the file system. This whole thing was probably dropped when they started using unionfs, which (I think) allowed a normal apt-get to work. Sorry for the bum steer.

@madhatter3, glad you found the answer and thanks for the link.

I knew I had used f-prot on an earlier version of Knoppix. I was thinking the f-prot program was included but the updates had to be downloaded. Now that I read about the installer I think that is what I used too.
