I download knoppix today and after I botted it i moticed it was in german. does anybody know how to convert it to english?
See "The Use of Cheat Codes" in the FAQs.
where do I type that stuff at
Right after it boots, you'll see a splash screen and at the bottom, it'll say something like this:
OK, so that's from an ancient version, but you get the idea. Type in your "cheatcodes" at the boot: prompt -- or press F2 for a list. If you don't type anything in, it'll boot with the defaults, one of which is using German.
chronictoker420,
Awwwwwww, come on, you can learn German can't you?
Didn't you read the Frequently Asked Questions:
Just kidding, since Knoppix was "born" in Germany, the language is "usually" defaulting to this language, use the "cheatcodes" on the boot prompt to change it to what you prefer... Either that, or you will probably have to know how to read German. [giggle]Code:To run Knoppix requires a working knowledge, and ability to be fluent in the German language.

I read the cheatbook and I dont know exactly what to type in to get it to english could sombody tell me what to put in at the prompt.
Proper format for cheatcodes on the boot: prompt...
boot: knoppix [option] [option] [option] [...]
your boot command, just to change to english, would be:
boot: knoppix lang=us
or
boot: knoppix lang=en
On some of the versions, the "en" works, and on others the "us" works - so try one first, if you still get german, try the other - this should get you to english...
Hope this helps,
Cuddles
thanks for all the help I got it to convert to english thanks again
