Mac is a little more complicated. Assuming that we ship compressed or uncompressed disk images, I would just recommend shipping all locales in the disk image. This might take a little bit of work in the browser/locales/Makefile.in or the build automation so that we don't "unregister" a locale when we build another one (very simple). The hard part is dealing with the localized search plugins and the default locale pref. I don't know what a mac autorun CD looks like, so I don't know whether we expect users to manually copy the disk image to their hard drive or whether there's an auto-launch program which can help in this department... | Mac is a little more complicated.

Reducing the Localization Burden on the CDs
The current Firefox/Thunderbird/Suite CD images ship the self-extracting installer files for each locale. This is a massive waste of space, and means that we cannot include the firefox/thunderbird/suite/etc on one CD.
Instead, we should ship the files on the CD already uncompressed:
CD:\autorun.inf, etc CD:\firefox1.0.1\win32\setup en-US.exe (NOTE: this is not the self-extracting stub program, this is the real setup program). CD:\firefox1.0.1\win32\setup fr-FR.exe CD:\firefox1.0.1\win32\config.ini CD:\firefox1.0.1\win32\en-US.xpi CD:\firefox1.0.1\win32\fr-FR.xpi etc...
That's all that is necessary for windows; Linux installer uses the same system.
Mac is a little more complicated. Assuming that we ship compressed or uncompressed disk images, I would just recommend shipping all locales in the disk image. This might take a little bit of work in the browser/locales/Makefile.in or the build automation so that we don't "unregister" a locale when we build another one (very simple). The hard part is dealing with the localized search plugins and the default locale pref. I don't know what a mac autorun CD looks like, so I don't know whether we expect users to manually copy the disk image to their hard drive or whether there's an auto-launch program which can help in this department...
