Is the Expect (scripting language with TCL) comes with Knoppix Live CD??

It is not included in the package list to my knowledge, but Knoppix is Debian based so you should be able to install TCL using apt-get when up and running. You should also be able to browse for it in Aptitude or Synaptic.

Thanks for the immediate reply..

But I'm not so familiar with code that u have written.
-Since, It's a live CD how can we install Expect.
-Can't we use the Expect distribution (on top of TCL/TK Distribution)
to install it on Knoppix?
-Is Fedora C4 or later version comes with Expect ?

The install in Knoppix will only last while you run the live cd, it will be gone when you power down.

I'm not sure about Fedora. I would assume so. I know Suse comes with TCL/TK.

Hi kasun04,
Yes, Fedora Core 4 and Core 5 does have expect package. They also do have with Tcl/Tk packages.

Perhaps you can try Puppy Linux LiveCD with ActiveTCL:

I installed ActiveTcl (native mode) for linux on Puppy - not a glitch.

Where is Expect? Older versions of ActiveTcl had an expect executable, but the new versions don't. Where did it go?
Rather than being linked to a different interpreter, Expect has been made into a proper Tcl package. If you have the line:
package require Expect
In your source file before the first use of any Expect functions or variables, you can then run the file using tclsh, without having to use a special interpreter.
