Tnank you for your reply. As you say, kickstart command can filter installation language. But the problem is lacking a easy way to switch to another language which is not installed in the system.
Once I tried to install Fedora 13 Broffice.org Spin on my desktop. Switching to English is an easy job, nevertheless, Switching to Simplified Chinese is quite hard. Now I do not know how to make GNOME become Chinese interface. Should I reinstall entire GNOME? I have installed Chinese-support group. I know separating langpack from GNOME is a difficult and big project. But why does not GNOME pack language files like kde-l10-* for KDE4? It is more flexible. No matter what should be changed in LiveCD, I just hope Desktop Spin LiveCD keeps 700MB CD Size. Maybe Hybrid DVD solution will be more available and accepted by most user.
