Now I wanna update some things but I can't because of this. Any ideas? I'm currently running KnoppixDVD 3.6B installed to the harddrive by using knoppix-installer.

Is that a possible cause of the problem? You have Kwikdisk installed on Knoppix I believe. Locate it in your menu and run it to see what it says. __________________ CRUX 2.5 + IceWM Registered:#371367 New Members: click here
