Q: When I boot the OGo Knoppix, everything is in German!

A: Yes, the CD was produced for distribution with the German Linux Magazin, so the default language is German. You can change the language to English, though. To get a English KDE desktop, specify "knoppix lang=en" at the boot prompt, then boot. If Mozilla comes up and you see the OGo login screen, do one of the following:

• Log in as a user, then at the upper/right you'll find a link labeled "Praef". Click it - you are taken to the main preferences panel, select the link "Anzeige" (display). At the very top of the display preferences there should be a popup where you can select English as your language.
  Press save, logout and login again. Voila, here you go.
• Alternatively, for those who want to change the parameters first, rather than navigate using cues in German:
  From a root shell, edit the file '/ramdisk/skyrix/skyrix41/documents/17780.defaults' and add a new line containing just the string

  language = English;

  to the end of the file, just before the '}' (close-curly-brace) which denotes the end of the configuration information. This should cause the 'andrea' account to use English labels from the start. Do the same thing to the files 10000.defaults and 17210.defaults to change the default language for the 'root' and 'hans' accounts, respectively.

We'll take a look whether we can produce a Knoppix which defaults to the English language.

Q: I don't manage to boot the OGo Knoppix on my spare 128MB Celeron notebook, I'm ending up with an empty desktop!

A: Yes, it seems 128MB RAM is not sufficient for the OGo Knoppix :-( It is enough, if you already have a Linux swap partition on your system, otherwise you'll need 256MB RAM.
A 450Mhz Celeron as a CPU should be sufficient for testing and a harddisk is not required, just a regular CD-ROM.
