>Description:
There are several distracting flaws in sysinst's German messages,
mainly spelling mistakes (missing dashes).

For example in:
http://www.fabiankeil.de/tmp/netbsd/deppen-leerzeichen-728x428.png
correct spelling would be 'BSD-Disklabel', 'NetBSD-Teil' and
'NetBSD-Partitionen'. 

As similar mistakes were mentioned (with patch provided) a year ago in:
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/netbsd-docs-de/2005/06/13/0000.html
but are still present in the German documentation, I hope not using
dashes isn't some kind of translation policy.


Other than that, I had trouble with:
http://www.fabiankeil.de/tmp/netbsd/bios-disk-wtf-728x428.png
I can guess what the message is supposed to mean,
but the description itself makes no sense.

I also didn't get the meaning of the last sentence in:
http://www.fabiankeil.de/tmp/netbsd/partitionierung-728x428.png
http://www.fabiankeil.de/tmp/netbsd/partitionierung-2-728x428.png
http://www.fabiankeil.de/tmp/netbsd/partitionierung-3-728x428.png
The last part seems to be cut.

Minor glitch in:
http://www.fabiankeil.de/tmp/netbsd/medium-wahl-728x428.png
"... können Sie 'kein' auswählen ..." should read
"... können Sie 'kein(e)' auswählen ...".
>How-To-Repeat:
Run sysinst and choose German menus.
>Fix:
Insert missing dashes and compare translated messages with the originals.
