(E.g., selecting the "Spanish Support" would install the firefox-langpack-es package; and "Danish Support," the firefox-langpack-dk package in a similar fashion, et al.) I've CC-ed Chris Aillon (Red Hat's guru of all things Gecko/Mozilla) on this; as I'd like to get his opinion this. Chris, how feasible would this be? :] Thanks! --
Separate rpms would be an improvment. Also separate packages for the search plugins would be nice. Almost the first thing I do after uprading firefox is, e.g. rm -rf /usr/lib/firefox-1.5.0.9/extensions/langpack* rm -rf /usr/lib/firefox-1.5.0.9/searchplugins/* Chris
