How to install GRUB?
Well, thats what I have:
laptop with no FDD
knoppix with poor man's install (iso image is on c:/ - hda1, and the home directory is on d:/ - hda5)
on the c:/ -hda1 is my WinXP, and on the d:/ - hda5 I have other files and programs, which I use with windows, so I need them and that's why I can't format this partition and make a knoppix full hdd install.
So, how can I install GRUB???
I've tryed to install it trough knoppix, but I had no success
There was a message that I can't write to hda1 and hda5 anything (even they are mounted and fully writable).
I have no USB drive to boot from, only CDRom. So, how can I install GRUB?

You can install grub into the mbr of your disk, but you don't have to !
You can do it all from windows (and also remove it all) using explorer and notepad. Basically you just need to add the line "c:\grldr="Start Grub" at the end of your c:\boot.ini and add some files in your ntfs /dev/hda1 partition. Then reboot and enjoy...
I will sugest you to have a look at this forum: http://www.knoppix.net/forum/viewtop...r=asc&start=90
Cheers, Gilles

is based on grub4dos ... I just recompiled it with the latest patches and network support. Good luck, Gilles

Just to say that I`m using Fat32 on both C: and D: instead of NTFS
But everywhere is discusing about the NTFS. Is there any difference abou instaling and configuring GRUB to run Knoppix with poor man`s install?

It works as well if you a fat16/32. If you are running 98 or me you can also use grub.exe from dos. grldr is launched from nt/xp boot loader using the boot.ini. Gilles

A temporary fix is to do:
Everything will be in English again.
But I'm currently (also) looking for a more permanent fix.

Permanent fix:
Code:
dpkg-reconfigure locales
Use this program to clean out the locales you don't need (aka keep en_US, en_GB, and maybe your local languages). Then on the next screen you may chose the system language. You should chose en_US I think, since not all debian stuff maybe translated, or that well translated. After you chose [OK] it will start cleaning the locales it has stored.
KDE has it's own language settings. But sometimes the locale settings peek trough, the Kaffeine mediaplayer is an example of this.

found a better option i think. just stuck the lang=us cheatcode in my grub menu.lst file, at the end of the kernel statement. console and everything else is in english now, so seems good
