(not sure -- is this the right place to make observations about redhat-config-kickstart?? which i'll abbreviate as r-c-ks from now on.) in r-c-ks, if you leave the default language as English, and don't select *any* choices for Language Support, the ks.cfg file generated contains langsupport --default=en_US according to the Cust Guide, this means that *all* languages will be installed, which seems counter-intuitive. even if you select English for Language Support, you get the same result. however, if you select, say, both English and French (or, for those diehard U.S. republicans, English and Freedom), you get langsupport fr_FR --default-en_US which seems correct. comments? rday -- Robert P.
