Of course, perhaps this is the wrong area to focus on anyways (looking at the analysis that was posted). If there was a way to slim down GNOME... And does the install image need Thunderbird? (Probably; if you need to send e-mail while installing and that's the only system that you have...) But given that one of the recommendations is to remove A11Y bits... I'd rather have per-locale images and keep A11Y in. The analysis did not break L10N down by language, but it's big enough that a one-language- per-CD approach would save more space than dropping A11Y. OTOH, blind people could just do text installs over a serial line with text-to- speech on the other end, so perhaps large parts of A11Y could reasonably be dropped. > Don't know. I'm just pointing out the observation that many software > vendors have taken the language pack approach instead. What would it take to support multiple one-language install CD images? My guess is that the first time setting up the build system support for it would not be cheap, but it'd be cheap to maintain that going forward. Do we have reason to think that users might find this unacceptable? Are there regulations that this would violate? (Not likely; I'd think that dropping A11Y would be more likely to violate regulations/laws, than a one-language install CDs, as long as users had a simple way to get install CD images in the languages that they need.)
