I'm wondering if this new version of Mandrake will AUTOMATICALLY include all the listed languages, or only include them if you select them. Also, with all the confusion over the security levels, has there been any thought to making the choice descriptions a bit more verbose when given the choices? That *might* cut down on the security level confusion. :-) John
