A more permanent solution to the problem...must have missed it
earlier while searching the forums.
Have started using the Poor Man's Install and found this solution while
looking for something else.

The post was titled "Parts of knoppix in german" and was Posted: Wed Aug 02, 2006 12:40 am

A response by Posted: Sat Aug 05, 2006 1:32 am contained the following:

"Yes I noticed this too. It happens mainly in those apps which open up as root. To fix this, you need to edit the file /etc/default/locale. Change the line LANG=de_DE@euro to LANG=C or LANG=en_US. You need root privileges for this, so one simple way is to opn the root shell, start kwrite adn navigate to the file and edit it. Then everything will be English. The setting will only last for the current session, unless you make a persistent Knoppix disk image."

Did this and saved the Knoppix Configuration.

Works...
File Manager-SuperUser Mode now starts in English every time from the Menu or Konsole.
