this is how it works atm. the locale you pass through kernel parameter at boot prompt (see manpage of live-initramfs for exact syntax) initiates the generation of the correct locales, and, if you use gdm or kdm, the desktop environment will start localized as well (given that, the appropriate i18n-foo is installed, which is not necessary for gnome but e.g. kde has it seperately in kde-i18n-foo). if you have multiple entries in your syslinux configuration, the user can just select between those doesn't have to worry about messing with the prompt. > 2.)
