It's a known bug: Debian has removed all actual ntfsprogs from the
ntfsprogs package, and put them into ntfs-3g instead. However, Knoppix
used a newer version of ntfs-3g(-ng) in 6.7.1, which contained only the
ntfs-3g mount command, but not the ntfsprogs utils (which are unrelated
tools), and this package was not updated. So, we ended up in having NO
ntfsprogs anymore in 7.0.2 without even noticing until someone reported
ntfsresize missing.
It's easy to fix, though. Quoted from the 7.0.2 release notes at
http://knopper.net/knoppix/knoppix702-en.html :
sudo aptitude update
sudo apt-get install -t unstable ntfs-3g ntfs-3g-ng-
(Caution: The "-" at the end of the second command is actually important
for removing the old ntfs-3g-ng package, which does not contain the
programs.)
If you use Knoppix installed on a >= 8GB USB flash disk with an overlay
(which I highly recommend), the fix is permanent.
