Booting in English in V3.3

**queondatavo** · 08-17-2004, 02:42 AM

Hello.
I downloaded Knoppix v3.3 a while ago, but I never played with it very much. Recently I inherited an old laptop and decided to try knoppix on it. The problem is that I can get Knoppix working, but in German. What do I need to type in order to get Knoppix working in English?

type lang=en at the boot prompt.

Thank you very much. I will try it out now.

Also, is there a big improvement in v3.4?

I get an error:
Could not find kernel image: lang=en

Ok, I found out what was wrong.
I needed to type: knoppix lang=en

Thanx a lot for your help!

Sounds like you downloaded the German iso file. Next time you download a new version, make sure it has an "en" in the name, instead of the "de". Should be a new release before too long.
