I would like to be able to edit the LINGUAS setting on the system being installed, during the installation, so that packages I will be compiling in the final steps of process are set up for my language. I realize that this won't hold for the binary packages which are just copied from the CD, but since KDE and other large packages have to be compiled from source, it would help part of the way.
Are you referring to the GUI installer?
Yes, I am referring to the GLI not being able to set it.
An overhaul of the make.conf screen has long been on my list of things to do. Unfortunately, I keep finding more important things to do with the installer.

Though this bug initially started as a complaint about the lack of LINGUAS configuration in the make.conf screen, I think it is the right bug to consolidate all of the desired improvements for the make.conf screen. from bug 88504: * string showing complete CFLAGS value in make.conf screen from bug 123078: 2. USE should only be what is set by the user themselves, otherwise empty. also split into global and local USE screens. from bug 129195: 2. Separate out the USE flags into Local and Global because few people ever use the local flags. Make them tabs you can alternate between.. Global being the main tab. 3. Add the distcc box.
With 2007.1, the installer will be for networkless installs only. Since nothing you change in make.conf should affect a networkless install, I'm removing this screen.
