I am wondering about why you are using PPAs instead of downloading and installing LO directly? Yes there is some "ease of use" to have the newest LO version[s] in an repository-like option, but how hard is it to just use a Terminal to install LO? That is the only way I have been installing LO, since it first came out all those year ago, on my Ubuntu systems. AS for the "locales selection", it would be nice to know which ones you want to see. With so many locales to choose from, I think the PPA people decided to list the ones that they thought were "popular". That is just a guess of course. As a person who has created a DVD .iso of the LO installs for distribution, it is hard to list a lot of locales and have links to them in the language and help pack section of the install page. I had to choose the ones I thought would be most used in my region of the world. I have been thinking about adding a number of them on the disc that are not listed, but told you can find them on the DVD in such-n-such folder. But there are how many locales? Over 100? I already download about 90 install files. I would have to download over 1000 more files to get all of the language and help packs onto my disc for all of the install versions, i.e. Windows, MacOSX [Intel and PPC], Linux [DEB and RPM]. That is a lot of work. I do not have the ability to copy" the entire set of folders that contain all of the install files and their packs., so I would have to download all 1000+ files one at a time. That is a lot of work. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/projects/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
