Hi I have a weird problem, for some reason I klicked on a wrong icon and now all of my root directory// applications and files are arranged in a language I don't understand. I have no idea what this language is and would very much like to reset it to English GB.

Also the live CD was spectacular, it detected all my hardware and set it up without any difficulty. But the problem is that now it won't auto mount my CD drives and my hardrives as the CD did. Further when I mount my DVD-r drive, or my CD Writer drive, I can only mount one CD drive at a time as there doesn't appear to be a device listing in /dev for a second CD rom drive. Is there any way to get it to add an entry to /dev that will allow both my CDRW drive and my DVD-R drive to be mounted at the same time?

Further, the CD version of knoppix doesn't appear to allow me to save anything I download or try to move from one directory to another (Ihave 460GB divided up over several partitions, one of which is a 30 GB fat32 partition set up to enable exchanging files with an NTFS drive). Do I need to be a super user, or root to move files accross directories and if so what is the su password?

Additionally Open Office appears to be the German version, which once more is not very helpful/useful to me. Is there a way I can change this? The spell checkers in all the office applications seem to be in another language too, even in ordinary accounts which I haven't converted accidentally to whatever langage I selected.

Lastly I am very interested to learn about aptget - and how to use it to get specific pagages. Say for example I wanted the latest version of Xine? What is the command for starting aptget and how would I write the command to aquire it? Do I need to give the version name and version number of the application I'm interested in?

All in all Knoppix rocks. But I wish it was able to set up my hardware and automount all my drives etc in the same way the CD version does. There ought to also be better support for HDD installs, with as people who try the Cd version will undoubtedly want to give the real thing a go. Also I wish there was better international support as it is too centred on German and east European users. Apart from that, its great!
