Considerations about official localized editions of Live CDs

[Aron Xu]

@Arne:
ibus and ibus-m17n have been included in LiveCD AFAIK, and we may
consider to add ibus-pinyin with a tiny word stock, I know the size
problem is that ibus-pinyin has a HUGE size of sqlite database, having
a minimal word stock may help I guess.

@JimHu:
OpenSuSE and Mandriva has its Asia version aiming at mostly CJK users,
and those editions are liked by their users from Asia.

Imagine you are running the LiveCD of a distribution whose default language is Chinese, how can you figure out the way to install English language support by yourself?  After a glance at those unfamiliar characters, I think you will probably restart your computer, eject the LiveCD and never try that distribution or even Linux ever again.
