+> But the advantage is, from this one download and installation he can

+>
+> I would only need one English live cd. From this I could install the
+> system. And then I could create
+>  - live cd with German with the DE of my choice and the software of my
+> personal choice
+>  - live cd in German for German events and to demonstrate to friends
+>  - live cd in German for a magazine, customized to their wishes,
+> etc.
+>
+> All this also helps to keep everybody satisfied, not only the part who
+> is satisfied with the original Mageia ISOs. As such it would reduce
+> work for Mageia.

+Danke für die Erklärung :)
+
+Then that makes sense and I can see your point. The “Live-CD
+generator” would be used by advanced users, e.g. by Mageia
+contributors wanting to create a set of German LiveCDs for the
+LinuxTag in Berlin, and the average users could still download our
+tested ISOs with all locales on the LiveDVDs / DVDs or in English on
+the LiveCDs.
