If you download the '-en' version of the ISO, it's default language is English.
Cool. They seem to have -EN, -ES, -DE, -FR versions to download. There may be other languages, but I have not seen them.
I was given a Knoppix CD by someone that was made by the knoppix people. Even though all the info and instructions are written in English, it defalts to German. I guess someone wasn't thinking when they made this batch. Oh well. (It's KNOPPIX 3.1)
