I am trying to remaster knoppix 3.8.2 into regional language (hindi).
I am a newbie at this and i will really appreciate if someone could guide me with the creation of KICK LIST .( The packages that i need to remove ).
As i have observed on the site the kicklist is a matter of personal choice. I just need the list of those softwares that can be removed safely and are removed from all remasters.
Thanks in advance

Hello Mohit,

there is one file that you want to install, to have Hindi as a KDE language. It is called "kde-i18n-hi"

If you do the remaster this the scripts of Fabian Franz or the tutorial of UnderScore that you will find here:
http://www.knoppix.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=13867
you can do the changes in the chroot enviroment.

You have to be on the root console and do:
apt-get update
apt-get install kde-i18n-hi

There is also a file for openoffice. It is called openoffice.org-l10n-hi

With dpkg-query -S kde-i18n you can search all language packages that are installed to your system.
So you can delete for example the german ones with:
apt-get remove kde-i18n-de

I hope this helps you with the remastering process.

Greatings
Christian

Thanks everyone for the help but..
i am through with remastering and have created a live cd with Hindi kde and hindi fonts working properly
however the problem is though me able to start the cd in text mode thats by using cheat codes 2.

it gives a IPC error and it shut down..
Now does that mean that me need to make changes to the Hindi KDE in proper way ?
but the question which haunts my mind is .. since me able to work on HINDI knoppix
