No, my question wasn't about purging language files I don't use. That's about 
saving disk space automatically at installation. FIW, quite a while ago I 
checked out localpurge to purge the many TDE language files I never need, but 
you would have to configure the paths of those manually etc. which I didn't 
try.

I dunno. Which thread?

Kind regards,
