Knoppix 3.2 2003-03-21 released

**brianpward** · 03-22-2003, 07:03 PM

I dowloaded the KNOPPIX_V3.2-2003-03-21-EN.iso image and it appears to not be english but german. I had to start using knoppix lang=en to get it up and running in english. Even then open office is still in german.

With persistent home, you can do the following:

Open konqueror
Create the directory ~/.kde/share/apps/ksplash/pics
Browse to ~/.kde/share/apps/ksplash/pics
Move and uncompress your new splash screen file into the konqueror window
Have fun!

Does anyone know how to get rid of the Knoppix splash without persistent home and without remastering the 700 file?

Perhaps we should have a vote on the new splash screen...

You can easily change the language before burning with one of these tools:

Windows

Linux

I tried knx-customize-image.exe, reburned the iso and it did not help - still german. So fan using knoppix lang=en is the only thing that works.

Any ideas how to get Open Office to change to english? I tried using the options but it still is german.

The german to English conversion does not work with knoppix-customize. I also tried using lang=us and change the default language in KDE inside kontrol but it did not change it in mozilla and openoffice.
Did Klaus make a mistake when uploading Knoppix 3.2?

P.S. if somebody knows how to change this manually throughout the entire system I would be willing to re-master it this way.

Looks like a new english version of 3.2 has been posted:

ftp://ftp.uni-kl.de/pub/linux/knoppi...-03-21b-EN.iso

The connection is very slow and only appears to be on this site at this time.

Can anyone make the 'b' version available via BitTorrent? The only "official" mirror that has it is overwhelmed since every English-speaking Knoppix user in the world is downloading the same file.

If I can get the silly thing dowloaded before April, I'll make it available.
