Having an OS support more than one-language on a single medium is fairly common, and the cost of maintaining per-language media is likely to be prohibitive. That's probably why most vendors have adopted a "Language Pack" approach from what I've seen. As such, I think a per-language media approach is not an optimal one. -- Shawn Walker _______________________________________________ indiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/indiana-discuss
