Hello
Iīm totally new to Linux, been reading some and Iīm beginning to understand how it works and learning some commands... Anyway, I got hold of Knoppix 3.7 PC Welt-version and running it from CD is not a problem, everything works fine so I installed it to my HDD.
Everything worked fine until I typed "INIT 5" to go to runmode 5 and start X-Server (itīs what itīs called right?). Everything turned black, the HDD loaded for a while but nothing showed up. So I pressed CTRL-ALT-F1 and got a command prompt. I hope you want to correct whatever naming errors I make, Iīm new and I want to learn... :)
After some playing around I got the X-server started and got visuals! But thereīs one HUGE problem, everything is german, every word, menu and so on is german.
I used the command 'Linux nodma noddc lang=us' to boot and in runmode 2 everything is in english...
I hope you see my problem and I sure hope someone can help me cause - no offence to anyone but - I donīt want to run Knoppix in german... :)
Thanks!
