Re: My knoppix hard disk install has open office in german

Thanks Bob,
That allowed me to set locales.
I'm still getting german in open office after running
it, maybe it will clear up after a re-boot.
Maybe it has something to do with my /etc/apt/sources.list
containing:
ftp.de.debian.org/

I guess I should do a change to ftp.debian.org/
to not waste bandwith to Germany from United States
because of my default sources.list.
Since they are mirrors of each other, it should not
matter right?
