We calculate the spectrum of Lyapunov exponents for a point particle moving in a random array of fixed hard disk or hard sphere scatterers, i.e., the disordered Lorentz gas, in a generic nonequilibrium situation. In a large system which is finite in at least some directions, and with absorbing boundary conditions, the moving particle escapes the system with probability one. However, there is a set of zero Lebesgue measure of initial phase points for the moving particle, such that escape never occurs. Typically, this set of points forms a fractal repeller, and the Lyapunov spectrum is calculated here for trajectories on this repeller. For this calculation, we need the solution of the recently introduced extended Boltzmann equation for the nonequilibrium distribution of the radius of curvature matrix and the solution of the standard Boltzmann equation. The escape-rate formalism then gives an explicit result for the Kolmogorov Sinai entropy on the repeller.
