try lang=us instead of lang=en. Or (better) install the package 'localepurge' and remove support for all other languages except english.

In the "append=" line in /etc/lilo.conf for the section which boots your new kernel add "lang=en" or "lang=us".
hmm.... thanks but i have allrady add lang=us in lilo.conf but the language is still german and this is the thing that i dont understend :wink:

What do you exactly mean "console is in German"? Is the output of command like 'ls' in German? What do you get for "echo $LANG $LANGUAGE $COUNTRY"
BTW, I don't think us_US is a valid locale. C, en_GB or en_US are.
i mean that when i for example type mount /dvd/ and notihing is in CD i get "keine medium gefunden" most of errors are in german
when i type netcardconfig i get "Willst du DHCP .... "
echo $LANG is de_DE@euro
$LANGUAGE is de

echo $LANG is de_DE@euro
$LANGUAGE is de
Ah, that's why, then...
Try editing your /etc/environment and selecting one of the valid English locales I mentioned in my previous post.
Also, did you rerun "lilo -v" after editing /etc/lilo.conf? Otherwise, your changes are not active yet.
hy thenks for answer but i've solved my problem i had to edit /etc/sysconfig/2.6.7-rc2/i18n
and set there enviroment variables
LANG=""
LC_ALL=""
LANGUAGE=""
COUNTRY=""
when i changed etc/enviroment it didn't worked
but thanks very mach for answering
at last i fully understend my knoppix :wink:
