    English in Austrumi?

    Do any of you folks know how to get the English language when running the Austrumi live cd? It does not prompt me for any language on the boot mode when starting the live cd..

    This one would be great on an older laptop I'm messing with but I can't understand the default language it ships with.

    I went to the Austrumi website and couldn't find instructions but it says its available in several languages including English. Perhaps I missed something?

    Thanks..

    Hello

    I don't know if this still holds true or if it ever did work for that matter, but I saw on an archived forum that you get to the English version like the following (as quoted from the other forum):

    Just took a minute to find out how to restart X in English (default Latvian): Left-click desktop: Istatlejumi -> Valodas.
    Hope it works.

    Thanks, I didn't try Austrumi again so I can't mark thread solved....I moved onto another distro that used English as the native language. Too bad though as Austrumi was looking very nice....

    To boot in English:

    1. At the startup screen, hit Esc
    2. Type: austrumi lang_en
    3. Hit Enter

    Hit F1 at the startup screen for other boot options.

    Its a very responsive OS.

    Language option is available in Austrumi's Menu too but you can use it after booting up only.
    I haven't used Austrumi recently. In earlier versions, one has to right click on desktop and search for Flags in Menu - submenu to change Language.
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

    Looked for it in the menu when I first got to the desktop but the language sure had me stumped. I read the options page on the next boot. Interesting setup... the right-click has desktop settings like themes, wallpaper, resolution and hot-keys while the left-click has apps and system settings. The middle button scrolls the opened menu. A nice surprise was left-clicking 'Explorer" on the cairo-dock opened emelFM2; right-clicking it opened PCManfm.

    You're welcome, Indy452, its a fun desktop to explore.
