I have one box that I selected Japanese as the main language and then
changed to English after the install that works great for Japanese -
but I'm stuck with Japanese menus in large parts of the total package.
I would prefer to install English as the primary language and have
Japanese support under that, but I haven't been able to.  I know -
there has been one thread after another about the steps required to
get that working, so I'm not even bothering to ask how here, I'm just
commenting that it doesn't seem to be a simple "add second language"
step during the initial install.

I wonder if it's the video driver?  I have an old P-III 450MHz machine
that displays things very clearly, with sharp detail, but on newer
boxes, the details (quite visible with some fonts, especially small
ones) are not as good.  Thus I'm writing this message on that old
450....
