    Can't help with the colored text at boot.

    I can't remember where I saw the instructions for setting english as default language but try this:
    Open the KDE Control Center.
    Expand the Personalization Menu (Head icon).
    Select Country & Language (Flag icon).
    Find the US Flag in the list of countries.
    Click Apply which is the second button from the right.

    Hope that helps,

    Mike

    The knoppix-autostart script sets the defualts for language and KDE stuff too. See /etc/init.d...
