If we have it working, we don't need any variable.

Hmmm, C as a fall-back, if the new-user breaks something ...

Thanks.
I think the choose-language is similary to the kbd layout. But we have
no lang.deb with a defined path, where the files live. And no
langconfig, loadlangs, ...
What if we say, floppies with only C and for CD with language support?
Shall we include the po, mo, trm files in one of our *.bin packages
or should we build a seperate lang-tar-ball with gezipped $lang.{po,mo,trm} ?
Greetings,
Hartmut
