When I said: "I remember some time ago Klaus mentioned knoppix would be fully utf-8 for the next version" I meant what I pasted bellow

I haven't had a chance to try the latest version of knoppix but if it is not fully utf-8 complaint, do you know of any other debian based live-cd which is?

Thanks for this hint, it looks like I really have to move away from the
"one char per letter" approach that was 8-bit-per-char ISO-8859-*. Some
programs in Debian don't even seem to support the traditional charsets
anymore, and crash on startup in a non-utf8-environment (openshot,
stopmotion, ...), so it is likely that I will have to switch to UTF-8
completely in the next Knoppix version. For this, I will use your patch
above, too.
