Hello so far I'm really impressed with my knoppix hdd install. Way cool!

The only real gripe left with my system was the partial english/partial german problems with man pages and some console apps.

This fix will not fix KDE, OpenOffice, etc.

So I did some searching and found where the language variables are set, now I have my system running in english as I want it to.

The fix is easy as root edit (or if necessary make) the /etc/sysconfig/i18n file and use your country's info, here is my US-english file:

LANG="en_US"
COUNTRY="US"
LANG="en_US"
LANGUAGE="en"
CHARSET="iso8859-1"
XMODIFIERS=""

Thanks goes out to everyone here that is helping out with this great distro! I was thinking (dreaming) about Mandrake 9.0 because it is gcc 3.2 compiled, but I have something much better now, I have a "debian on the edge system" that ROCKS! Knoppix rules!

L8r,
