Mac OS X is a multi-language OS. This seems to make sense to install all available localizations. Are the PDFs that big? I have a Metapackage that installs help PDF's for various language. Each package inside the Metapackage contains user help for a specific language. With 10.3, my Metapackage has to currently launch each embedded package to determine if that package has to install. This is since there is no specific way to launch just the appropriate language package from the metapackage in 10.3 that I am aware of. A script in each package determines if the language it is supposed to install is the OS language and either proceeds/stops it's install if not. I am planning on using a distribution script on 10.4 to launch just the require language package and install it's contents. This should decrease the install time since I am now launching just 1 package. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
