Hmmm... I've never used KNOPPIX specifically, so correct me if I am wrong.
A couple of thoughts:
> a) change the nessus-update-plugins script to accept another parameter - a
> path for the script to download the plugins to
This may lead to some end-user confusion for anyone who tries to run this. I'd stay
away from it.
> b) have the nessus-update-plugins script determine what path to download the

Better solution.
How about:
c) during install, prompt for $NESSUS_LIB_HOME/plugins directory location. That way,
it will write correct setting into both nessusd.conf and nessus-update-plugins.
d) create a simlink pointing to your ramdisk
Either way, you still are going to have issues moving your "/usr/local/var/nessus/*"
directories without the same amount of headaches, right?
