Description Paul F. Johnson 2006-01-03 12:09:08 UTC
Description of problem:
When installing FC5T1, there is no way to select the default language for the
system.

How reproducible:
Always

Actual results:
The system defaults to EN_US, which is a pain for anyone not in EN_US!

Expected results:
I should be able to set the default language during the install

Additional info:

Comment 1 Chris Lumens 2006-01-04 18:17:41 UTC
What installation method are you using?

Comment 2 Paul F. Johnson 2006-01-04 22:16:18 UTC
Direct from CD

Comment 3 Chris Lumens 2006-01-05 16:36:07 UTC
The default language for the runtime system is the language used for
installation.  If you want to use a different language after installation is
complete, you can use system-config-language to change it or use a different
install-time language.

Does that clear up what you're seeing, or is your bug that there is no language
selection screen at the beginning of anaconda letting you pick the install-time
language?

Comment 4 Paul F. Johnson 2006-01-05 17:11:29 UTC
There is no language selection on install

Comment 5 Chris Lumens 2006-01-05 21:08:02 UTC
I am seeing the language selection screen right after the welcome screen on
booting from a CD for installation.  Did you pass any extra options to the
kernel at the boot prompt that would affect installation, or are you on some
sort of network environment where you would be getting options implicitly?

Comment 6 Paul F. Johnson 2006-01-05 21:33:47 UTC
Nothing passed on the command line. It wasn't there.
