Each time I boot DSL, I enter the boot options TORAM and lang=uk. When I'm re-mastering, what do I need to change to have these options selected by default?

TIA
Stuart

You got to change the boot scripts. Atleast the lang part is in /etc/init.d/knoppix-autoconfig
And the whole lang part is something like this:

getbootparam lang
case lang
be)
belgian setup
de)
german setup
...
...
*)
us setup
esac

and so on..
You'll need to remove everything from the language section except lang=uk part, including the getbootparam call and the case/esac.

so that everything left in the language part of the script is something like
LANG="uk_GB"
...insert other UK lang stuff here...
export LANG TZ ....

You don't need to change the scripts to change the default boot options. If you make an error while editing, you could render the system unuseable. Of course you could still break things when changing the bootloader's config, but I'd say it's easier to fix that then to fix a broken script.

The CD's bootloader config is boot/isolinux/isolinux.cfg
