usb thumdrive mount in knoppix

[Dennis Ruzeski]

If the media isn't write protected, make sure it's not mounted read only..
Type mount and the last entry on every line is either (rw) for read-write or
(ro) for read only.

If it's mounted read-only, run this command to make it writable-

mount -o remount,rw /device/name

Good Luck!
