    I downloaded 5.0 from the torrent. Thank you mkurz. I made a version that boots into english by default. I am willing to share it but I do not know how to create a new torrent. If anyone wants to help let me know.

    Just a quick thought on this. Since BitTorrent improves with the more people that are using a torrent, it would be far better if everyone downloaded the one current torrent that defaults to German and then you could supply a very tiny extra file that made the change to the DE iso to turn it into a EN iso. One healthy large torrent is much better than 2 smaller torrents, and I would expect that the download to convert one to the other could be extremely small. This would actually be a much better way to distribute the official ISO(s) by torrent as well, the change to convert to EN could be packed with the original ISO as a tiny utility.

    Sure Harry,
    Do you have such a utlity? If you do upload that and I will just seed the German version. The only thing I did was change the isolinux.cfg file. But most people do not have the MagicISO to edit files inside of the .iso file in order to swap the German isolinx.cfg with the English one.

    I don't have such a utility handy, but there must be plenty out there. And not being free I sure don't recommend expecting people to use MagicISO. But since as long as the only change was a change to the default language and the rest of the ISO wasn't shifted around it should be only a change to 2 bytes or so in the ISO. A simple text listing posted here of the differences between your two ISOs might allow a lot of people to make the change with a simple hex editor. But this is a good thing to discuss and see if we can't get a well accepted solution before the official 5.0 torrents come out. When the mirrors were the primary way to distribute Knoppix it sort of made sense to have two versions, saved the extra step of converting the ISO for your language. But with BitTorrent being used heavily to distribute the ISP now it would make sense to download only one version of the ISO and include in it a tiny utility that patched the ISO to EN or even to other languages.

    Here is a link to the torrent for the English version

    Harry,
    The idea for a language change utility is a good idea. Maybe you should post that in the ideas section and someone might work on that.

    If I remember this right, Winimage is a free Win tool (demo mode)
    allowing you to edit a iso cd/dvd image assuming that the file(s)
    to replace have exactly the same length.
    I didn't try it, but it should work...
