Re: [wlug] hosts file

With knoppix you'd still need to run a root terminal, instead of just the normal one.

You also need to mount the filesystem read-write, knoppix defaults to mounting things read-only. The GUI way; right-click the icon for your filesystem, unmount if it's already mounted, then chose the option for mounting read-write. The root-terminal way; mount /mnt/hda1 -o remount,rw (I forget exactly where knoppix mounts things and /mnt/hda1 is a guess... substitute the actual mountpoint here) And as Daniel says, you'll need to edit the file as root too.
