I keep installing the german version
I passed the knoppix lang=us cheat code and it boots to the english version no problem. I do an install immediately thereafter, log in as knoppix and somehow I still installed the german version! BUT (and this is the weird part) if I log in as root it's in english. I tried adding a user but same deal. I have reinstalled it 4 times. WTF!?!? Any ideas??

When you run KDE for the first time the configuration screen runs just change the default language to US english and click next and the rest of the screens should be in english you will want to change the keymap to US too, by right clicking on the german flag in the kde-menubar and configuring it to US.

You can't log in as "knoppix"? I wouldn't recommend staying logged in and doing your daily work as root.
Also for the language issues try running kpersonalizer.

The taskbar 'country' app is for your keyboard selection, not your kde language. For exact step by step instructions look in the FAQ's either here or on your CD for one about language selection.
What you need to do is in your German KDE setup from the "K-menu" you need to go into the control center (Kontrol??) and then click on the sub-menu with a flag (maybe 4th from bottom?) then select the entry with the flag (maybe 2nd from top?) in the drop down select your country flag and then click on the apply button (2nd from right) close the window log-out and then back in.
