+That's not what i mean wobo. Those distros do not provide localized
+isos, not OpenSuse-Gnome-europas-americas1.iso.  OpenSuse installs
+i.e. turkish locale packages after installation (and it even can't
+provide Traditional Turkish F keyboard layout. in any meanings with
+yast)
+
+Also, i do not mean to languge selection comes later. Pls, read
+carefully my previous posts and try to understand what i want to mean.
+
+If we will release a Mandriva One like live cd then my proposal's
+whole concept is:
+1- User boots with mageiaone
+2- User selects keyboard layout; Mandriva One's grub configuration is
+capable for that.
+3- Live cd starts to loading ram
+3- A dialog popup appears and asks if he/she wans to select language
+4- If an active internet connection detected  notifies users that
+selected languge will downloaded from net otherwise user use live
+system in English. After DE starts an if an active connection is
+present, installs user's selection of language files while installing
+on hard disk.
+
+
+I want to make an attention,
+If a language doesn't included in Mandriva One release; user will not
+have any native language support for outside of DE applications when
+he/she install to harddisk Simply, ie. Azerbaijani user *must* install
+other packages than DE installed within live cd again to have
+Azerbaijani support. Because /etc/rpm/macros file do no let other
+language files other than it includes. :)
