Description of problem: Anaconda always instals all supported languages, which wastes 120MB of disk space. You can select one, two or three languages, but the usr/share/locale and the usr/lib/locale end up with all languges. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Any installation Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install from the CD 2. Select one language (say english) 3. At the end, look to /usr/lib/share/locale and /usr/lib/locale Actual results: All languages installed Expected results: Only the selected language installed Additional info: I have played a lot with the "ks.cfg" trying to create a bare-bones FC5 to install in a 512M Flash, but this bug wastes 120MB of the disk, which prevents me using Fedora in the flash.
This is intentional as you can't go back and add the languages later
If it is so, the "System Administration Guide", item 1.4 Kickstart options should be corrected, as it says that only choosing "default" with one language installs everything: langsupport (required) Sets the language(s) to install on the system. The same language codes used with lang can be used with langsupport. To install one language, specify it. For example, to install and use the French language fr_FR: langsupport fr_FR --default= If language support for more than one language is specified, a default must be identified. For example, to install English and French and use English as the default language: langsupport --default=en_US fr_FR If you use --default with only one language, all languages are installed with the specified language set to the default.
