German keyboard persistent with HD install

[JohnnyH]

I strongly concur that Debian is now a better hard drive install than Knoppix, but *if* you must...

I install knoppix-5.1 to my hard drive, but (in the GUI only) I get a German keyboard layout. ...

... As normal User :-
KMenu --> Regional & Accessibility --> Country/Region & Language and set up for your locale

...and for root / superuser

This is a devilish bug since the "-" is replaced by the SS so I can't "su - root"; my root login is not accepted in the GUI(that's a mystery)...
