I am new to Linux and have spent a few weeks trying out the various distro's. I keep coming back to Knoppix as it
really seems the best.
I have one problem though, every time I boot I have to type in "knoppix lang=uk" to get the Uk keyboard. Surely there is a way to incorporate this
into the boot sequence somehow ?
If someone can solve this one I would be very grateful indeed.
Regards to all

Open the File Manager (PCManFM) and go to: Knoppix-boot-syslinux and then edit syslinux.cfg (click and write). Add the line lang=uk in all the lines and save it. Reboot

Many thanks joselb, I will try it at the weekend.
Thanks

Tried that in various ways, but still no luck.
This is my original syslinux.cfg file;

DEFAULT loadconfig

LABEL loadconfig
CONFIG /boot/isolinux/isolinux.cfg
APPEND /boot/isolinux

Oops!
UK is for ...Ukraaine.
en_GB is what you want.

lang=en
should work

Thanks philo and joselb, I have tried it and still I get the US keyboard layout 1
This is the layout of my syslinux.cfg file as it was
DEFAULT loadconfig

LABEL loadconfig
CONFIG /boot/isolinux/isolinux.cfg
APPEND /boot/isolinux


I have tried adding lang=eng and indeed lang=uk into the start of every line also at the end and under each line but I still get the US layout.
I am using Knoppix 7.4 on a stick btw.

Have a look at → Micro-Remastering

LABEL loadconfig
CONFIG /boot/isolinux/isolinux.cfg
APPEND /boot/isolinux

This isn't the origin file!

@felinus The cheatcode, lang=uk, works for me. Maybe you have just edited the wrong file. The /mnt-system/boot/syslinux/syslinux.cfg file (mentioned in the link from Post #8 ) probably is the one you are after.

[joselb]

You are doing it in the wrong file! Anyway, you can always open a terminal and type: setxkbmap=uk and you are done.
