Need Help On Installing Software

[Guest tjr80]

I have done a HDD install of knoppix and really can't figure out how to install software. I read some guides and still can't figure it out. Anyone know of maybe a guide that is in layman's terms or anything? Thanks.

You could try this after opening up a shell prompt:

sudo apt-get install (file name)

This works in Ubuntu and Knoppix is debian based. That should work.

for those that get lost on the shell prompt part. that would be the terminal in Gnome or iKons in KDE desktops.

you need to create a root passowrd if you have not done so..

sudo su
passwd
enter new password
re-enter password

use the apt-get, you can so this ..

apt-get instal synaptic

then you can use hte gui tool synaptic to update packages and install new ones.
