Currently it's just one _rescue_ floppy for each language. The base system
contains all the translations (and I'm adding >1MB for 2.1.7 as I'm going
to include locales*.deb).
I would like to include gettext support and several translations on the
rescue floppy, but I have been moving too many things out of the rescue
disk just to be able to build it. I bet gettext and translations won't
fit.
