I'm not quite sure what is meant by "full installation",
but one does get an awful lot of i18n files if one simply opts 
for the standard installation.

While in principle I like the idea -
we live on a shrinking globe -
the chances of my wanting to read a document in Serbo-Croat
is vanishingly small.

Actually, it's not so much the installation that concerns me -
it is more the fact that every now and then yum downloads
a newversion of every locale in theuniverse -
and I find it difficult to believe that all have been updated.
