I can understand that you may have to download the extra "language CD" with the downloadable version of openSUSE but not including it in the box makes very little sense to me.
The reason why many people (me included) buy a box in stead of downloading ISO's is low bandwidth (apart from the convenience of course). It would be very disappointing to buy the openSuse box and then discover that you still had to download an add-on CD if you want a localized version.
I hope you are wrong about this.
I hope so too, but I don't think so. I asked on IRC why there were only yast-translations for tier2 on the dvd5 of rc1, the answer was that translations had been removed from dvd5 because there were no room for tier2 translations on dvd9, and to avoid paying customers having a worse product than the mooching downloaders, translations were thus removed from dvd5 too. I'd very much like to know which packages are so much more important than the translations. Since the dvd5 is now only 3,4 gigs. Besides 64-bit OOo was dropped, so the dvd9 will only have one set of OOo packages, you would think that dvd9 should have plenty of space to include the x86, x86_64 and noarch packages from the dvd5s, and then some. But obviously something a lot more important than our translations must be on the dvd9, even though cd and dvd5 does fine without it, whatever it is. I don't get it, at all.
