It is in its usual place, but the pre-selected language - whatever it is - is taken out of the scrollable list and presented as a special 'top entry' (there is a horizontal line between it and the scrollable list denoting this). If geolocation picks a different pre-selected language, English (US) appears in the list with the rest, in the position you'd expect it to be in. This is a standard GTK+ widget design, I believe. The list itself is in alphabetical order, but it's a rather rough alphabetical order - it doesn't seem consistent whether it's sorted according to the native or Anglicised form of the name. So 'Deutsch' (German) is sorted with the Ds (not Gs), and 'Ellenika' (Greek) is sorted with the Es (not Gs), but 'Nihongo' (Japanese) is sorted with the Js (not Ns)...I think perhaps it depends whether whatever library's doing the sorting is capable of figuring out the appropriate alphabetical sort for the character set of the native name of the language or not, and it can't for 日本語, so it just gives up and goes with the Anglicised name.

This is intentional and not going to change: the installer team just didn't feel it made sense to spend a lot of time maintaining what was essentially an entire graphical package manager in the installer codebase. There are several of them in the distribution, after all. The point of the installer is to deploy a functional system, and then you can fiddle with your package set. If you absolutely must deploy a specific package set, you can use a kickstart; kickstarts can still specify the full range of stuff relating to repos and package sets they've always been able to, including single package granularity. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
