Thanks Didier! Just to understand it, what impact would the change have on languages that are not on the image and are traditionally installed online? In particular,
- Would ubiquity still be shown in those languages even if the language packs are not in the image? - Would these additional languages still be easily installable once there is an Internet connection (during or after the installation) Cheers, David.
