Hello all, I have mailed previously also here seeking help about the packages needed for minimal distribution, which has all the support for indian languages, in respect of desktop environment, fonts, support for input of languages. Here i am posting specifically for ubuntu, and since it is derivative of debian so same can be done with debian distribution to create custom installable media with all required packages. I am using this link https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomizationand following packages: *language packages:* language-support-writing-xx - metapackage for Hindi language support language-support-translations-xx - Additional translations metapackage for Hindi language-support-xx - metapackage for Hindi language support language-support-fonts-xx - Additional fonts metapackage for Hindi language-selector-common language-selector language-pack-gnome-xx-base - GNOME translation updates for language Hindi language-pack-gnome-xx - GNOME translations for language Hindi language-pack-xx-base - translation updates for language Hindi language-pack-xx - translations for language Hindi (where xx is: as: assamese,bn:Bengali, gu:Gujarati,hi:Hindi, ka:Kannada,ml:Malayalam, mr:Marathi, or:Oriya, pa:Panjabi; Punjabi, sa:Sanskrit, sd:Sindhi, Ta:Tamil, te:Telugu,ur:Urdu) *scim* packages enabling input method for different indian languages: scim-tables-additional - miscellaneous input method data tables for SCIM platform scim-modules-table scim-modules-socket scim-m17n - M17N Input Method Engine for SCIM scim-gtk2-immodule scim-bridge-client-gtk scim-bridge-agent scim *fonts:* language-support-fonts-xx - Additional fonts metapackage for xx ttf-xx-fonts - Free TrueType fonts for the xx language ttf-indic-fonts-core *Others:* open office, mozilla-firefox-locale-xx (bn, gu, pa), pidgin, gimp, gedit. there are other packages also available, like for KDE, but here i am using Gnome, and mozilla-firefox for different languages, and can be installed just by using command: sudo apt-get install ......... I have been involved in creating such custom installable media. So in case you think i am missing some important package here and something which should be included, let me know. In case you need to try out such DVD/CD, with language support for any specific language let me know, we at sarai will be happy to post you the install media, do mention the extra packages you need, or if you are comfortable with making you own CD and need some help let us know. Any suggestion, comments, direction, and help will be highly apprciated. -- Regards Shantanu Choudhary -- ubuntu-in mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in
