You know what? This is so fucking rediciolous! Sorry for my bad language but it is. I did EXACTLY what you said (Thank You Very Much... Really) but the damn thing still speaks to me in GERMAN!!! More and more!! I edited the locale gen so I only had 2 lines left beginning with en_us. Restarted. Did the apt-get install localepurge. It came up with an error message (I guess it was...) in GERMAN. How the heck do I supposed to set up a language when the thing is speaking in some other one? After setting the locale gen, I still see choices in the Control Center with all those languages.

Why can't I have root privellages?? I don't want to log back and forth between root and my other accounts!
What's up with all those file permissions??? No one's going to make a network with 1000s of users with free Linux!
And the languages... WTF???

I think I'll just uninstall the damn thing. Excellent bootable disk but totally screwed up hard drive install. Fuck it.

How do I uninstall it? (Just the Debian/Knoppix... I still want Grub and my partitions)

Thanks.

Grh.... Why don't they just release separate iso's with one language on them?
