How to set new user to be like default Knoppix user?

[ferreter]

I run into some of the same issues when I add a new user. Some of these issues include:

-No sound for the new user (it appears that I have to add the user to a sound group to fix this)

-Even though all settings are set to english as per other threads advice some apps like open office stay in German. This does not occur with the root or koppix user.

Thanks.
