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).
