Thnx Paul, now downloading with 2mb/s (!)
Hopefully this one (probably the same as the .bin version) will use my network card after HDD install....

If you have WinISO (on Windows if you still have it

), you can just open the ISO file and delete the boot.img and boot-DE.img .... after this just rename the boot-EN.img to boot.img and save the ISO... now you won't have anymore problems with German language...

MichielioZ,
I don't have WinISO. But I probably can dowload a trial. Thanks for the tip! I will give it a whirl tonight.

It's buggy for me too. After the third boot try I got in.

1) First you've got to hit F2 right after the boot screen starts.

2) If you're an english speaker you have to type 'knoppix lan=us'.
(your 'shift+0) is the German placement of '=' on a us key board I found.

3) If you only get funny looking wavey lines then the default Xserver isn't working for your system. Try 'xserver=XFree86|XF86_SVGA' without the quotes one space after the 'knoppix lan=us'

'knoppix lan=us xserver=XFree86|XF86_SVGA' like this without the quotes of course.

It worked for me. This is a great looking distro once you get in.

Have fun

I am getting between 400 and 500 Kbytes per second... should have the entire iso in about half an hour. By the way, is this identical to the one available via Bittorrent?
