How do I disable the voices?

[ant]

Hi!

I was using KNOPPIX v6.2.1 live CD, but it had the annoying talkings/voices/speeches. How do I disable it since they make things slower on slow PCs?

Thank you in advance.

You got the "Adrianne" version, I think. It's for visually impaired folks. Try typing this in at the command prompt at the start (big penguin still on screen):

Oops, I didn't know there were two versions of v6.2.1 live CD.

I tried your suggestion and it seems to work, but I don't get that text menu anymore. It takes me to X. Is that normal? How does the non-Adrianne version boot up?

There are more, actually. DVD vs. CD and Adrianne vs. GUI gets us to 4, as a base , per version number. Then there are others, not so prominently available ("bigmem" memory model, etc.)

Hmm, I only saw two CD lSOs for v6.2.1 on the download web pages. Where was the DVD ISO and others?

Best way to get it is BitTorrent; check the Knoppix BitTorrent Tracker. Version, date, language, etc. - lots of variations to review and choose among.

Ah thanks. I was looking at KNOPPIX's official web site. I don't want to redownload again since I have a slow Internet connection.
