Hello, I'm a very very new Linux user, and I do the apt-get update instruction in root session and the same happend to me. Reading a mini How-to about apt I do this:
( I you allready have netselect don't do this )
1.- Edit the sorce.list archive in /etc/apt
2.- Add the followings lines in the Stable section
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free
deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable/non-US main contrib non-free.
3.- apt-get install netselect
( I you allready have netselect follow on this point )
4.- apt-get netselect-apt stable

This procedure create a new sorce.list file with the best servers for run apt-get en update your sistem. The new sorce.list file is created in the actual directori, so you must move it into the /atc/apt directory for replace the actual file with all thats sources in german.
Then you must run apt-get update for refresh your sorce list.

In my case works, hope this help you.
Bye
(sorry by my english)

Yes
edit the file /etc/lilo.conf

Near the buttom, there are, for eatch kernel a line like this


append="ramdisk_size=100000 lang=dk apm=power-off hda=scsi hdb=scsi hdc


edit the lang= option to en for eatch kernels that are listet in /etc/lilo.conf

Then run lilo, to update your boot sector.
At next reboot you should have english.

a quick solusion, but non permant is


export LANGUAGE=en

Did you get the English or German CD? I installed the English version to my HD and apt-get is all in English.
