Verifying of md5 checksum and burning a CD at slow speed are important.
actually knoppix can be run in multiple languages. let me guess at how to change it in your version, (i'm running 3.
K-symbol (in postion of start button on a windows desktop)
go up to the option einstellungen, which is settings
go to the option for Kontrollzentrum, which is control center
here you can do this two ways:
click suchen tab (search) and search for "sprechen"
or click reionalenstellungen & Zugangshilfen, then land/region & Sprache
you should see a language selector of somekind. Knoppix picks languages by region, so press the Deutchland or belgium buttion for a dropdown of regions, and find america. it should be listed in Amerika, Noedliches , then USA.
this should help. there is also a manual command to change languages, but i don't know it.
if your having trouble with setup, remember that weider is the word for OK.
