Ah, yes. Good point about the network, should've remembered after
recently helping a friend set up WLAN...

Wrt. to firstboot, of course I meant this to come with localization as
well (where is the localization for firstboot pulled from now btw?)

Anyway, so the (in)conclusion was that further down the road we'll have
support in Anaconda for "extra CD's" (or extra stuff over a network
including updates), so that people can add extra languages/-devel
stuff/whatever found on a separate ISO? That would be very nice indeed.
