knoppix 4.0 dvd

[linexpert]

hi,
i wanted to download knoppix 4.0 dvd but i cant find a good source. i found this link (ftp://ftp.freenet.de/pub/filepilot/linux/system/knoppix) but i heard the knoppix is in another language. should i still download it? will i be able to change the language easily? if yes, how?

I used Knoppix last year and during the boot you can select english.

your downloading from a .de mirror, since knoppix was started by a native german speaker, it has ISO's in german and english, look for one of their english mirrors

or perhaps the easiest way is a torrent available here

Since you need English language settings (for the OS and keyboard) use "knoppix lang=us". "=" is shift+0 in this case, as grub defaults to german keyboard settings.

Linux Central has it for a reasonable price. It might save some time.

ok, i got knoppix 4 on a dvd but the language is not english. i was able to change it from control pannel but does anyone know a command that i can use in a terminal to change the language back. also, is there anything that i can do make my life easier, i have to change the language every time i boot the cd what is the easiest way to make these changes easier.

Go to www.linuxfoo.org they have a english version there.

And if you have a de version
just hit F3 key during boot then type :
knoppix lang=us
and hit Enter

BUT there is a english version at www.linuxfoo.org .

I got the 4.0 dvd and I hate to be cynical but I'm just not that impressed. If you're gonna put all the frills on the DVD including every application ever invented, a splashscreen wouldn't be a bad idea! Plus given that the default boot is into KDE I would have recommended an SVG wallpaper. The driving scene looks terrible when scaled, and anti-aliasing doesn't seem to be in place. I'm a big Knoppix fan. I'm glad he went DVD, but it just seems that most of the new packages are a bit trivial with not enough polish on the desktop side.

Almost seems like any other Knoppix, only with a 4 GB download. The change to Plastik was welcome though on the windec side. I'm on it now.. I'll give it a little more time to settle. I'm impressed with Blender being on there but I'll have to dig out some more positive points.
