I'm sorry, the package I was trying to refer to is gcompris-sounds-pt.

IMHO, every point you made is valid. If I were hand editing a ks file, comments always help. I rarelly use s-c-kickstart, but it would help a lot in changing little things/options. I don't know why but revisor never really worked for me, I forgot about it since F7. I guess it really depends on the user's favorite tool. Maybe it makes sense to implement all three points, I don't know. But I have to agree with you, if we hit a country that has half dozen timezones, four keyboard sets and if we multiply it by the number of spins, there will be a lot of files to choose from. This would confuse the user trying to build a spin for sure. Best regards, -- Pedro Silva
