rsync_exclude says:

+ locales-?.?-*
+ locales-en-*
- locales*

remember that wildcard ? means accept any SINGLE character.

rsync_exclude was designed against Mandrake 7.2, where it works
correctly.   IOW 7.2 for an English installation does not use or need
any locales files except locales-en-*.   Remember that 7.2 is still
the current release.  I am proceeding under the assumption that
Cooker (Mandrake 8.0) will work the same way.   IOW, if the installer
is calling for any other locales files (yes, which it does today)
that is an installer error for Pixel to fix.

I have reported this error on two occasions now, but nothing has
followed.

In any case just pressing OK will cause the install of the indicated
maodules not to occur, which is our desired outcome for non-english
RPMs.
