I do not know for sure, but my speculation is that they need to install more than will fit on a CD. To solve that (I speculate), they leave off the language packs, then toward the end of the install (knowing which ones are needed), they download just what is needed over the internet (which takes 10 to 15 minutes at my lower-speed DSL). By leaving the language packs off the installation CD, they save a lot of space.
Thanks for the tip on apt-get. However, I successfully worked-around the problem by re-installing with the internet connected. - Aere -- kpackagekit crashes on system-updates refresh after install https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/574079 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
