[Mageia-discuss] I'd like to start to discuss the possibility of having one language per iso when it comes to full DVD-versions, similar to the Live-versions.

Hi!
A long time have I wondered why a Swedish man/woman would want to have
more languages on his/her iso to install just Swedish as language.
I'm therefor opening a discussion to perhaps solve this little proposal
that I've got.
Look at the Live-iso's that we have to offer, they come with 16
languages each.
Lets think for a second that a user doesn't want to install a
Live-system & to use a large iso with unnessecary languages is out of
question.
How does he/she solve it to install Mageia?
My idea is that we transform the full-DVD iso to one-language only, but
more iso's in the end.
Like this:
mageia-dvd-1-i586.iso in a language-dir under
ftp://ftp.acc.umu.se/mirror/mageia/iso/1/
The result is that you shrink the DVD much & you can add other stuff
that doesn't fit in the ordinary DVD's for some reason.......perhaps add
more drivers.
I got my idea from looking in the Mozilla-way of showing people how to
find their language-version of Firefox, Thunderbird etc.....
Don't get me wrong about this....... I really really really REEEEEEAALLY
love Mageia & I intend to continue using it for all future, but I just
wanted to make a proposition that makes the choice of iso much easier.
Please think about it & discuss the pro's & con's.
Love
