[OPEN] Two questions about building my iso

[jayid]

Hello, I'm planning to make a big iso with all DEs and WMs installed for the purpose of demonstrating them to my classmates. However two issues came to me before I actually started to build.

1. I assume building an iso with all DEs and WMs is possible, but will it be a nightmare to try to get the correct and non-conflicting packages? Can one just simply copy paste sections of packages.x86_64 from each DEs and expect it to work?

2.Some of my friends don't speak English. Is it possible to have the locale (along with a little customization about the input method) done within building the iso, or does this belong to phase 6?

See these examples
Gi Joe - gnome and i3

Xtended - openbox with a lot of TWMs

If you can make those - you can make yours

Only 'real desktops' have the manpower to translate into all the languages of the world. TWMs do not have that luxury.
