    Well, first you have to install your locales or reconfigure locales to use your language (dpkg-reconfigure locales).

    Then check that your language is included in /etc/init.d/knoppix-autoconfig file. If not, add your language. These sections begins like de), fi) etc.

    Then add that same language 'cheat code' to your remastering file /KNOPPIX.build/Knoppix.Master/KNOPPIX-CUSTOM/boot/isolinux/isolinux.cfg as lang=fi. Notice that you use those same lettes as configured in knoppix-autoconfig. Add also your timezone to knoppix-autoconfig in that same section you have your locales.

    I didn't know that you meant kde-i18n-id package. You can check all the Debian packages from http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages

    But anyhow, you can add a new section to knoppix-autoconfig beginning with id) (I think this means Indonesian). Then change lang=us to lang=id in isolinux.cfg.

    Now your remastered CD starts with your indonesian locales but KDE starts in english.

    I have included in my remastering also swedish locales but could not use kde-i8n-sv package because there's not room enough for it. Anyhow, booting it in swedish uses swedish in many programs as Gimp, Firefox (installed locale package) but KDE is in english which is default. I think you would be happy with indonesian locales (with english KDE) the same.

    As you mentioned yourself there is no KDE indonesian language package existing at this time
    Sorry the name should be kde-i18n-id.
