When you do the upgrade, installer migrates the feature state of previous install, so IMHO you don't have to choose Custom. For the user data, there is a bug: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=46559 > > I realise it's only partly an l10n issue but last time I brought this up on > the development list, if I remember rightly, I didn't exactly get a sensible > answer.

I don't understand your comment about AOO, they are using the same old OOo installer, they did not improve on anything. BTW they support ~16 languages, while LibreOffice supports ~100. We use multi language installers to save disk space on mirrors and on build servers, and also to save network bandwidth. It still takes a day to distribute all files to mirrors. So please don't ask for single language installers.
