When you boot from the floppy and you get the boot prompt, type "knoppix lang=us keyboard=us" for English.
I kind of thought that was the point of saving config's - that is, so I don't have to type in my language, keyboard, screen resolution, etc.

Is there a way to just put in a (properly set up) floppy and have Knoppix open the way I want it - without any additonal boot prompts where I have to enter cheat codes?
