Cant get to the console?
Hello all, new to Knoppix and trying to do a HD install of the recent 4.0 DVD. My problem is that i dont seem to be able to get to the console window. The command (or keypress rather) is told to be ctrl+alt+f1 from the boot prompt appearing after a successful boot from the DVD but that doesnt seem to work for me. The keyboard is fully functional, could the problem be that i am using a swedish keyboard? What, in that case, would be the correct sequence of keys pressed to get to the console window?

Tried another solution, booted the live-dvd Knoppix 4.0 and started the installation from a command shell there, with command "sudo knoppix-installer lang=us". Still german language
Am i way outta line here, or isnt it possible to get to a console command window from the boot menu on the live DVD?

Knoppix boots with a splash screen. At that splash screen you can enter codes which will force Knoppix to do certain things. Theses codes are known as Cheat Codes. To get Knoppix to boot to a command line console as opposed to the a GUI desktop, use:
knoppix 2

Thank you, Sir, that was a solution that came to mind when i read the cheat codes and i will try it asap, also add some additional parameters.
EDIT. That worked just fine, i now have the 4.0 installed on my HD 
On the other hand there´s some problems to solve but thats another issue.....
