Thanks for your answer. Right but not in all languages. >> English and/or my native language and nothing else. Should be better >> to recommends only/at least one language I think.

English and your localization (which used/selected at installation). English is not installed by default? Or is it possible to install iceweasel without any language? What happens then?

You are right but should be better to choose only one or two than download and install all then later uninstall several. I am asking because I had only English iceweasel at first install even if my mother tongue is not English but at last upgrade apt-get dist-upgrade unnecessarily installed a lot of iceweasel and myspell languages because of dependencies. If I choose simple upgrade some gnome packages were kept back. Bye, a -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
