Knoppix problems

[AXEL_HAX]

Ok so recently i got the distro knoppix, i popped the cd in, it loaded etc. i look at all the stuff, and everything is in german!!!!!! i tried looking up some forums, and it told me to type in knoppix lang=us at the boot screen, i did, but when the loading screen comes up, it comes up with all these errors and stuff. it is making me mad. Can anyone shed some light on this please?

The files name is KNOPPIX_V4.0.2CD-2005-09-23-DE.iso

I believe that the DE means duetcsh (sp?) And i am sure there is a way to change the language.Here is a list of them ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/dist/knoppix/ So what do i do, download one with the EN instead of DE, or can i make it a lot easier on myself and change the language another way?

Well i downloaded an english version, and what not. I put it in, and it froze at the boot screen. i left it on all night, hoping it was just some stupid prob. But i shut it down several times, and finally got it to start loading. It had originally from loading the minirt.gz deal. Finally got it to load, and it gave me this long list of errors, like a media error or something about an hdc... I dont know what it is now. I tried this a lot, and sometimes it froze, and the times, it started to load, i got those stupid errors . I am putting it in a different computer, and i get another error, a different one... ACCESSING KNOPPIX CD AT /DEV/HDC...Insmod: error inserting '/modules/cloop.ko' : -1 Bad file number. The errors, i got here on my IBM thinkpad 2645 laptop, had something to do with a cloop...

p.s. I had gotten the errors on my laptop i talked about, with the german version too, but it ran fine at first aside from the german language.
Axe.
