Now you should be back to an English keyboard. To make this change permanent, open the Control Center and change the "Region, Accessibility and Language" and "Keyboard Layout" settings under "Regional & Accessibility". Can you copy and paste some of the apt-get errors for us? Sorry, there are too many possibilities for us to know which error messages you're seeing on your screen. > Can anybody help ?

If I remember correctly, the Knoppix install sets apt up with pinning by default, so you need to do an apt-get update and then a series of apt-get upgrade followed by "apt-get install <package-name-being-held-back>" and it will eventually straighten out. Note: This is usually about 300MB later, in my experience. Not something you want to try over a dialup unless you have a week of vacation to play with. :-) HTH, Jacob ----- GnuPG Key: 1024D/16377135 Failure is not an option -- it comes bundled with Windows.
