to downsize install packages, i want to

delete some language files, but they are

read only, even with su i cannot delete

them (or do a chmod).

done.

    1) Don't touch the installer packages. Really. You'd have to modify the installer scripts as well, and I really don't think you want to go there.



    2) After you install an app you can eliminate the various extra language resources. <a href="http://versiontracker.com/moreinfo.fcgi?id=18401&db=mac"; target="_blank">LanguageStripper</a> will do the job for you.
