With my IANAL hat on, I don't see how these packages do anything to solve the problem, though. User in Brazil takes Fedora DVD, does install with the office group, they get OpenOffice. Even if comps also specifies to install broffice as well. And so then, they have two things in their menus, etc. As do all users who may not be in Brazil but care about having support for users who speak Brazilian Portuguese. There's no "exclude this package if you're using this locale" type of thing in comps[1]. And even if there were, the media would still have the package. So if it's a problem, the problem would still exist. Jeremy [1] And how such a thing would even start to work at the yum level, much less the level of any sort of UI makes my head hurt -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
