This is probably because libfribidi is not available on the root floppy. I'm afraid there's not much we can do about it. Maybe have a special template with NO translations for "Choose language" and display it instead of the standard template with bilingual entries. Anyway, on floppy installs, if one chooses Arabic or any other language than English, the installation will continue in English until packages with translations are downloaded from the network or the CD....See #269972 for which I just proposed a patch to warn users about this limitation. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
