4. Language Selection

After the installation program is loaded and you get the first screen it will give you your first selection. This is where you choose the language of the installation program and system. It will default to the language of the version you have, but feel free to change the language if you prefer something else.

4.1 What this Does

Not only does this change the language that the installation program is in, it also changes the language of the programs and documents that are installed by default, like the man pages and HOWTOs. Even if you change the language in the setup program, some programs will stay in the language of the distribution you have. So if you have a Spanish distribution and you choose English anyway, you still might get programs that are in Spanish, so make sure you have the distribution for the language you want to use.
