here's a second question.
how come (for instance)
[code]apt-get remove xpaint[/close]
doesn't work?..

it seems that when I do a dpkg-query -l, many packages are missing from that list

thanks again,

Can you remaster from within X once you chroot KNOPPIX and mount proc? I tried to do this by using startx and it wouldn't work. Thanks

Thanks for the reply,ed.

I am following the remstering how-to reinstalling apt.

I follow the 5 steps listed. I chroot and mount proc outside of X and then type "startx". I get through the setup routine with the server and mouse settings and then I am kicked out to a command prompt.

The error I get is:

xinit: no such file or directory (errno 2): no program named "/root/.xinitrc" in path.

I am guessing that I have left something out but I am not sure what.

Thanks for your help!

Chris

i am trying to put dsl on a usb thumbdrive but when i try the $sudo mke2fs /dev/sda4 command i get this error
mke2fs: no such device or address while trying to determine filesystem size

Hmmm... how have you determined that it's the fourth partition on your USB ThumbDrive that needs formatting?
Will $sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda produce a partition listing for you? What of sdb, sdc, sdd...
