would then Fedora be less of a BW problem?
help me, I feel stooopid. It seems to me Fedora would be more of a
problem from the point of view of bw, but y'all seem to see that as, not
a problem - for Fedora, yes a problem - for Sugar (which is smaller)
???
Of course, just like Br'er Rabbit, I couldn't find my way out of a
paperbag tarball.
Y'all know better, but I don't get this.
sorry for wasting your time, since actually here I can't help - I just
would wish I understood what the big kids are playing...
(though what you suggest, if I understand /that/, seems to make sense -
have the localizations be a sort of small "plug-in" to Sugar, obviously
smaller than the thing itself)

Yes it is smaller, but if Tim in Haiti is very bw-limited, even the
smaller thing is too large.
Daniel -- looking forward a bit... would it be practical to build an
img with a longer list of locales (all the ones we have reasonable
support for), and then extract the relevant files in a tarball or
similar so that they can be installed (with a script)?
Are locales cleanly separated into files / dirs or is there any file
that needs to be recompiled?
If it's doable, there is a definite use case for auto-installing
signed-tarball-with-locale from USB.
