It's expected/intended that these packages are not included on the ISO. The first time the machine is connected to the network, you're offered the option to install them; but they're optional packages, and including them on the CD would mean a trade-off between never prompting to install extra packages for language support, and fitting more languages on the image. I think making the image useful to users of more languages when no network is available at all is worthwhile. BTW, when you say "prompt upon login if you do a non-network install", you mean that you're prompted if you did a non-network install and then connected to the network post-install, correct? Obviously if you have no network, we shouldn't prompt you to install packages you'll be unable to download. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
