How can I build a single language ram disk? Can it be done?
   

If the single language is C then you can set NO_I18N and it will delete
translations from templates files. This could be extended to support
other languages.
 

i have change NO_I18N to DI_LANG for selecting a single language ( C and 
others..)

example for building:
fakeroot make DI_LANG=fr build_floppy_root
the next step is to put DI_LANG as default in languagechooser and put 
the flag to 'seen' in questions.dat
