I suppose if it used to be 'next', i wont complain if someone else
changes it.

If you want to add a link to relavant place on the Gnu.org website
with explainations in other languages then that would be a great idea
and fine by me but translating legal documents is a very very bad
idea. Even more importantly, translation of the Gnu Public License is a
matter for the Free Software Foundation, not a project trying to put
together a word processor. Im sure they would appreciate your input.
It would be possible to localise the rest of the installer. Remind me
again several times this week and ill get off my ass and do the necessary
i10n (internationalisation) work to make it possible.

And anyway this is the installer for the Microsoft Windows version!
I find it very difficult to take all this talk seriously for changes
to an installer (we got it free and it is zlib/png licensed by the way)
for a propriatery operating system.
> PS. I put this problem as a bug...
please dont. if you already have done then next in future provide the
number and/or a link to the bug.
Sincerely
Alan
PS if i seem hostile that is because i dont want to have to do the
installer i18n work, but i know i probably should ...
