Hi all,

We received a bug report for the Live Media for Seven, and it was
confirmed : http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=7217
So basically, selecting any other language than English makes
anaconda/liveinst  unhappy.

I'm asking for help to find the root cause/issue/fix/patch, assuming
people would be interested in helping to have a 7 release :-)

I'm currently working on various things at the same time, but my initial
'5 minutes search' leads me to multiple bug reports against anaconda
version and liveinst.
Consider for example that one :
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?format=multiple&id=1009278

It seems that some patches were added to anaconda to have it working
correctly in the Fedora 20 Live ISO images. So if someone has enough
time to browse/find particular patches included in anaconda to make it
happy, feel free to browse the anaconda git
(https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/anaconda.git/) and tell us what needs
to be fixed/patched.

Or if the issue is happening at another level (livecd-tools, or
kickstart being used) , let us know too !

As a reminder : https://github.com/CentOS/sig-core-livemedia contains
the kickstarts being used, and the tools we currently use to produce
those live images are there :
http://people.centos.org/arrfab/CentOS7/LiveMedia/RPMS/ , while SRPMS
are there : http://people.centos.org/arrfab/CentOS7/SRPMS/

Happy hunting ! :-)
