Yes they are still in German. The F2 & F3 screens are just a simplified version of the following text file /Root-of-DVD/KNOPPIX/knoppix-cheatcodes.txt (also found at any Knoppix download mirror like http://debian.ams.sunysb.edu/knoppix...cheatcodes.txt) which is entirely written in English. So it is not necessary to edit or translate the F2/F3 portions of the ISO.Quote:

if you want, u can edit the message for f2 and f3 in the /isolinux folder
just copy and paste and make your own message for the knoppix boot up screen no hexedit or complex procedures required
Please explain how you intend to do this. In most cases a ISO is essentially a read-only medium. I can skirt around that by flipping bits (hexediting) the ISO. As far as I know, I can not simply copy & paste into new f2 & f3 files without creating a new ISO image or modifying the underlying ISO9660 filesystem.Quote:

use a program like isobuster, extract boot image (which should be isolinux.bin enclosed in the very first cylinders of the cd/iso)
extract everything
edit f2 f3 files
use a program like ultraiso and recompile them together, or under cygwin use mkisofs (follow exactly the steps explained in the remastering guide)
(recompile with isolinux in boot sector of cd)
burn iso
done
or even easier, use a program that can open the iso and edit it from there and save recompile
I am not shooting down your ideas to be annoying but I was just wonder if it could be done with either an existing Knoppix disc or with 100% Free tools. I know about remastering seeing as how I wrote a HOWTO on it. Not everyone knows about remastering or wants to remaster. Also not everyone runs windows either and of those that do, cygwin (a really awesome collection of utilities & GNU tools) may be too confusing for them. I have yet to try mkisofs on cygwin since I usually use windows to play games or run ssh to connect to a *nix box. For those just getting into Knoppix/Linux, remastering or reconstructing the ISO is probably too much too soon.Quote:

I was wondering why not myself, since you can use a program like WinISO to add and delete files from ISO images, without extracting them, and then save the result. In Linux, you can mount an ISO 9660 image, but it's read-only.Quote:

Knoppix 4.0 from LinuxTag set up to boot in US English and with QEMU 0.7.0 so it will autorun under Microsoft Windows as well...

Just curious why is nobody using something like bearshare or Emule to distribute the DVD what uses English as the default or the other version as well?
