[debian-knoppix] Knoppix 3.4 English-German bug

There is a bug in the Enlish version of 3.4 Knoppix.
The file menu part of open office, when you select New it offers text document, spreadsheet ... etc in German only. All other parts of the program and menus are English.
When I installed it on the HD as Debian linux this same behaviour of open office remains. I have gotten used to it. To some it would be annoying but for me it was fun to learn a little non-english knowledge.

Subject: [debian-knoppix] hwsetup should be updated to use standart hwdata from redhat/fedora

Hi,

There is a video harware detection problems in hwsetup tool from knoppix.
This tool uses modified hwdata package (hwdata-knoppix) instead of standart
hwdata from redhat (main difference is in pcitable - third column "Card: Video_Card_Model" in lots (but not in all) of cases is replaced by "Server:XFree86(x)"), so lots of hardware data info are outdated in hwdata-knoppix package and vesa is used instead of correct drivers. 
Most problems are with Intel, NVidia and Radeon chipsets (I think
because of lots different cards models with these chipsets).
All tested video cards have pciids, listed in pci.ids and pcitable from
/usr/share/hwdata (few cards are listed only in latest version of hwdata
from fedora or debian sid), but vesa driver is used in most cased, because
not all have replaced "Card: Video_Card_Model" with "Server:XFree86(x)" in
third column of pcitable.

Solution is to update hwsetup tool to use standart hwdata from redhat or
debian, then correct driver would be used for most video cards.

I'm not experienced C programer, but I can help if more experenced have
no time to improve hwsetup.
