    Stephen and others who have been following this thread or who has been having this problem after adding the Knoppix package repository to your sources.list file I found out the real reason why things get defaulted back to german.

    The fix is much better / more elegant than my previous fix.

    Here's what need to do:

    You need to open and edit the following file:

    /etc/init.d/knoppix-autoconfig

    Look for the following section:
    Code:
    ### localization
    # Allow language specification via commandline. The default language
    # will be overridden via "lang=de" boot commandline
    LANGUAGE="$(getbootparam lang 2>/dev/null)"
    [ -n "$LANGUAGE" ] || LANGUAGE="de"
    Simply change the "de" at the end to "us".

    This should fix the problem.

    Stephen,

    Is /etc/init.d/knoppix-autoconfig run at boot on your system or on hd installs in general. This seems to be responsible for Knoppix hardware detection/configuration, but untill I added the above mentioned sources to my sources.list file and did an update, I wasn't aware if it running after doing a hdinstall. The fact that it is in /etc/init.d/ means that it should be run during boot, but I'm wondering if maybe it isn't changed or disabled somehow after a hdinstall.

    Also I'm suspecting that my /etc/init.d/knoppix-autoconfig is a bit different than others who have done a hdinstall, but who have not added the above mentioned repositories to their sources.list.

    Actually I had already looked at the link you posted and it got me started reading this file. Once I did that it was obvious that this is where my problem was.
