Excellent, thanks Vasudevan.
So open question to the release team -- should these two packages be
on the iso?
hyphen-en-us
thunderbird-locale-en
(I reckon for all default languages they are missing as well).
I checked the filesystem manifest for the latest raring iso and
indeed these are missing. And we prompt then upon login to install
them if you do a non-network english install. My guess is for our
supported languages we should include these packages. Thoughts?
It's expected/intended that these packages are not included on the ISO.
The first time the machine is connected to the network, you're offered the
option to install them; but they're optional packages, and including them on
the CD would mean a trade-off between never prompting to install extra
packages for language support, and fitting more languages on the image. I
think making the image useful to users of more languages when no network is
available at all is worthwhile.
BTW, when you say "prompt upon login if you do a non-network install", you
mean that you're prompted if you did a non-network install and then
connected to the network post-install, correct? Obviously if you have no
network, we shouldn't prompt you to install packages you'll be unable to
download.
Steve, thank you for the response. Great, so what we're seeing is
as-expected and working properly. And yes, I meant doing a non-network
install, and then after installation configure a network.
