Ah, thanks for pointing that out.
Maybe a totally independant area,
dists/potato/main/disks-i386/ru/current
would be better and won't cause any suprises for cd folks or
whatever. This seems worse for the user though since they won't
really know to look there.

Root and rescue per language. this is going to vary based on what
flavors for i386 are used. At worst, that is 2 disks * 1.44 MB * 16
languages * 4 flavors == 184.32 MB. That's for one arch.
This is a very severe pain in the ass, make no mistake. We have a
language chooser system which seems to support quite a lot of
languages (not all!) but it is not very well tested yet?
(I still think we should supply it anyway).

Good idea, and it really is pretty feasible (the only variance on the
rescue disk for instance
