OK ... (/Sheepish grin mode: ON) next time read all the way down the release notes page, not just the first 1/2! (/Sheepish grin mode: OFF) Wha-hey, relearning as I go.

On the live USB, change the localisation values in the entries in /mnt-system/syslinux.cfg.

Booting localised works fine now ... except that "grub" still tries to run the HD grub file and barfs because it then cannot find something ... "dos" and "memtest" still barf, have not chased why ... the 64 bit options probably don't like a 32-bit machine, will try them on a 64-bit laptop, when I can prise it out of my son's grip ... ADRIANE looks interesting, 'm going to have a play with that!

Have tried making a live USB on W7 with both LinuxLive and PendriveLinux utilities ... do not get all of the Unetbootin boot menu options and the resulting USB only successfully boots from a manual command at the initial boot prompt ... possibly something not right from anti-intruder software which tries to alter the boot status of the USB after it is written ... the W7 machine needs reloading anyway ... just another reason to get on with it.
