Ok, I think it is fixed with fedora-livecd-desktop-default.ks
So localized spin will not pick every language.
But on the other side, fedora-livecd-desktop.ks which all localized
.ks are supposed to base upon, is still preventing some packages to be
selected: (-aspell-* -hunspell-* -man-pages-*)

Thus, localized ks should link on %include fedora-live-base.ks and
take the fedora-livecd-desktop-default.ks as a base for localization
(like what I've done with this one: )
http://rpms.kwizart.net/fedora/9/ISO/ks/livecd-fedora-9-desktop-fr_FR-20080912.ks
Is it a better base than the one attached ?

It seems that the support for using this option has been committed recently.
Here is what I was using previously:
---------------
%pre
# Only install the needed locales - disabled
mkdir -p /etc/rpm
echo "%_install_langs en:fr:fr_FR:fr-FR" > /etc/rpm/macros.lang
# Don't install docs - disabled
echo "%_excludedocs 1" > /etc/rpm/macros.nodoc
%end
---------------
Any idea on what would be the replacement command to support this within a ks?
Also, using %_excludedocs will conflict with the
cp $INSTALL_ROOT/usr/share/doc/HTML/readme-live-image/fr_FR/readme-live-image-fr_FR.txt
$LIVE_ROOT/README
Maybe it would be better to have localized README not stored as %doc
in fedora-release-notes ?

ps : I'm still testing about the echo fr-latin9 > /etc/X11/Xkbmap
tweak i'm using in %post. But keyboard and date aren't set right on
the international Fedora-10-beta-desktop livecd.
That was the same problem with Fedora-9 gold.
Now this tweak seems better than to hack via xorg.conf which we aren't
supposed to use anyway. (KDE Lives may use another system).
