Thank you, Bigpup, I agree and have found this to be an issue, too, even if I've not been great at it myself when asking for help.

Regards...

X'mas Bigpup, thank you for your help, I've made up my USB with language pack installed for puppy boot. But I haven't download the language .pet module for Slacko but instead a smaller .pet ~ 10M to tune my language. Thank you very much for all your advices. Merry Christmas to all.

Nobody can guess your language, even if your Location is empty or anything funny like "between screen and chair"
