I would strongly discourage that as unpractical in the long run. Burma alone has quite a few languages by itself. Not to mention India. It would be better to make use of an extra extension CDs/DVDs with the needed files. That Skolelinux would continue to live on a single CD forever is highly unlikely given the total number of languages on Planet Earth. Sooner or later a choice must be made. Several CDs or a DVD - or Both :-) It is not easy to be a "missionary" some place out in the "forest" and to be lacking the single only one CDR out of 170 different CDs when giving a "test/demonstration" of Skolelinux :-) I would like for the people who make the final decision to at least think twice before committing to a "many" CDs solution. Perhaps integration with a standard Debian DVD for language files and other software could be possible? I fear that that the smallest language groups would never have someone skilled enough and available/interested among them and they would loose out entirely. A "practical" soulution could be automatic generation of a multiethnic DVD/DVDs at the same time of generating CDs if that could be done. Greetings Jim Oksvold
