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".
Thanks, that solved the first problem allright..
I tried to fix the /etc/apt/sources.list but obviously that didn't solve anything.. I attached the sources.list and the `apt update` output. Can anybody tell me what to change - or, better - can someone post his (her?) version of /etc/apt/sources.list with - at least, stable and testing lines, for both binary packages and source packages ?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.
I'm hoping to get this knoppix installation to use gdm instead of kdm(I don't like the fact kdm lists the users on the login screen!), and to allow me to choose between kde, gnome, and fluxbox;
Can anybody help me in these steps? I couldn't find that much on knoppix ~> 'clean' debian steps... ?
Thanks for your help, Joris Huizer
