X and Fluxbox :: keyboard !
I find the solution
Just edit 1 file:
/etc/init.d/knoppix-autoconfig
(...)
### localization
# Allow language specification via commandline. The default language
# will be overridden via "lang=de" boot commandline
LANGUAGE="$(getbootparam lang 2>/dev/null)"
[ -n "$LANGUAGE" ] || LANGUAGE="fr" <--- your country here
(...)
and find in the file your country line...
# french version <-------for me
COUNTRY="fr"
LANG="fr_FR@euro"
KEYTABLE="fr-latin9" <---put your "keymap" here defaut is just "fr"
XKEYBOARD="fr"
KDEKEYBOARD="fr"
CHARSET="iso8859-15"
# Additional KDE Keyboards
KDEKEYBOARDS="de,us"
(...)
if it look like wrong tell me
Voila stoo
my /etc/init.d/knoppix-config file
(...)
LANGUAGE="$(getbootparam lang 2>/dev/null)"
[ -n "$LANGUAGE" ] || LANGUAGE="fr"
(...)
COUNTRY="fr"
LANG="fr_FR@euro"
KEYTABLE="fr"
XKEYBOARD="azerty"
KDEKEYBOARD="azerty"
CHARSET="iso8859-15"
KDEKEYBOARDS="azerty"
TZ="Europe/Paris"
it works fine 
the knoppix-autoconfig is write protected, how do u edit?
You don't need to edit the knoppix-autoconfig file. That would only work for a hard drive install. Besides that is the hard way to do it.
Simple way is at the first boot prompt
boot: dsl lang=es
or
Use th loadkeys command.
Example:
1. menu->Window Manager->exit
2. sudo loadkeys es
3. startx
When you have the keymap working, then add the loadkeys xx to your /opt/bootlocal.sh
Look at the documentation Language Support
original here.
