Re: GNOME Linux Live CD - Language support question

[Luis Villa <luis villa gmail com>]

Also, for the record, on my personal ubuntu install, installing greek
support (including ooo, moz, spell checkers, etc.) is 72M. Spanish is
70M. Michael tells me that OOo translation will get much smaller when
we switch to OOo 2.0 for the next iteration, but that is the current
situation unless someone wants to do a lot of trimming work by hand.
