I don't know if this proposal is even mentioned before. It's hard to catch in all these posts. I think the main probem with Mandriva One releases was lack of space. It will still a problem for Mageia Live CD releases. Also, it is very cofusing for Mandriva/Mageia newbies to determine which iso image contains their native language support and i'm sure it brings more effort to maintain so many one cd isos and waste of server/mirror space.
I propose to implement an Ubuntu like, install time or in live enviroment language packs installing. How this should work? It is obvious which packages included in Live cd. When creating an iso (draklive?) livecd creation tool strips all locale files except english ones and create seperate packages per locale. These packages, ie. mageia-one-kde4-locale-tr includes all locale files corresponding with included apps/packages in mageia-one-kde4.iso. When user boots with live cd (mageia-one?) a dialog appears and asks which locale he/she would use with live environment. Then if it detects internet connection, downloads this mageia-one specific package (mageia-one-kde4-locale-tr.rpm for Turkish locale in mageia-one-kde4) and adds tr locale /etc/rpm/macros file. So, there will be only one live cd image on mirrors per DE, there will be room for apps in live cd iso, people will not confused for localized isos. What do you think?
