It's actually 12 languages, somehow I had the number wrong.  The list is:


1. Chinese - Simplified
2. Chinese - Traditional
3. English
4. French
5. German
6. Italian
7. Japanese
8. Korean
9. Portuguese - Brazil
10. Russian
11. Spanish
12. Swedish

We're using gzip (default level 6) for the primary CD.  The global one 
uses lzma. (7z command does this on OpenSolaris).
