I think you'd better install knoppix on hard disk, so that your changes to the distribution remain across reboots. Then use the tools to install packages. Something like: ----- sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install build-essential ----- should lead you close to a working environment. Run version-check.sh and look for missing packages. Then "apt-get install" them.
