Live CDs are not demo assets for most of the +people other than europe or america. Their relatively small size and +installation capability make them an installation media for limited +internet users. Most people do not want to install a DVD. + +Also, you haven't noticed but Mandriva One, have an rpm macro that +strips all language files those not included in One. (because of lack +of space on cd) And users must install all applications, including +system packages, i.e. initscripts again to get their native language +support. Look at mandriva translation statistics and see yourself that +waste majority of languages not supporting enough (lack of +translators, of course). For those using a live cd is a pain. I know +that because before my translation efforts for two years and turkish +supported One editions (after 2009.0 release); turkish users could not +use One Cd releases. + +Also, i have proposed that draktools lang files should be included in +all available languages to avoid those problems you have mentioned. +net_apple will in users language and user can establish wi-fi by it. +Thats all. +</PRE> + + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="001350.html">[Mageia-dev] Suggestion-Locales management for One (or Live) Cd releases +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="001352.html">[Mageia-dev] Suggestion-Locales management for One (or Live) Cd releases +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#1351">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#1351">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#1351">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#1351">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">More information about the Mageia-dev +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
