Hello,
I`m new to Linux and tried to use it before but i guess i wasn't willing enough back then :)
So i`m trying to take things slow this time. I downloaded the dvd version and CD version of Knoppix 6.2.
I first installed the dvd version to my usb stick with unetbootin-windows-393 but it didn't work out so i installed the cd version without deleting the previous install. (i read that dvd has more packages installed in it, i thought this way they will remain usable. i don't know if it is true).

Anyways my first problem is changing the language of the os. I tried this way;

``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 letters as configured in knoppix-autoconfig.
Add also your timezone to knoppix-autoconfig in that same section you have your locales.``

but when i write `dpkg-reconfigure locales` in the root terminal it says `/usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: locales is not installed`
i checked the language at knoppix-autoconfig which was there. also write it to iisolinux.cfg as told. But nothing changed.

I would like to try the knoppix lang= .. cheat-code but the root screen on startup passes so fast. so what am i doing wrong? and any tips for a new linux user?

I`m really sorry if this is asked before, i read a couple of threads but couldn't resolve the problem on my own.

Thanks in advance.
