Why couldn't language be supported as an (obvious) global build option, so CD makers could build several different language versions of the CD? Also, we could provide instructions online on how to 'translate' (really rebuild) boot-floppies to the language of choice after downloading to an existing Linux system? Then one Linux installation, which might have to be in English/common languages, could spawn others in native language. -- *----------------------------------------------------------------* | .''`. | Debian GNU/Linux: <http://www.debian.org> | | : :' : | debian-imac: <http://debian-imac.sourceforge.net> | | `. `'` | Chris Tillman [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | `- | May the Source be with you | *----------------------------------------------------------------* -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
