BUT +currently, they would only be images and this won't help localization, +as people would have to duplicate the images. Easy (I did it for my +Moblin LiveCD), but not practical... + +- Looking at the Bamboo's DrakX, and believing the core of the DrakX +Installation Program has not fundamentally changed, I guess it is +possible to restore the ability to place texts on advertisements as you +can see on the screenshot.
