You would be crying out for multi-language support, if the linux kernel
gave messages in German.
I thought about a text file, that would contain language-specific
messages. Perhaps, it could be integrated with the linux kernel. I
wouldn't mind the added size, but you could just disable it, too.
The kernel would look for it at boot-time and would parse it, if present.
Just my 0,02 DM :)
