Well I have a lonely weekend ahead of me so I'll give it a go.
I haven't given it much thought but normally it should just be a
matter of changing the default languagepack to nl/fr, making
adjustments to the boot screens and the installer.
But I can only modify the existing ISO, I can't build a new one
because my internet connection is pretty sucky for the moment.

If anyone wants to help out feel free :)

Kind regards,
