Changing from default env - LANG=de_DE@euro and LANGUAGE=de

If you want an easy to install debian based system check out Libranet.

It seems that the 3.2 knoppix releases have the most language problems, I think my best hd install was maybe the 01-01 version, or maybe even prior to that.

I've tried the fix to /etc/sysconfig/i18n to change to uk english (with en_GB) but I also seem to get the same format. The terminal windows are fine but I'm a startx fan so I like to have things working before that. I have noticed that my £ key remaps to # - does anyone know if this means I AM in english but knoppix thinks I want US keymapping?

To change the keyboard you just change

/etc/init.d/keymap.sh

as root, edit the line:

loadkeys /usr/share/keymaps/i386/qwerty/us.kmap.gz (or whatever)

(to the keymap you want -- uk.keymap.gz -- for example)

and run

/etc/init.d/keymap.sh reload

thanks fingers99, you're a star!

that was the final think I needed to get it working. I did have to do the changing "de_DE" to "en_GB" as well but I was really stuck on that keyboard mapping thing - I was just fixated on it being a language issue.
