Have already hinted Uwe to adapt the scripts for the next isos.

The mentioned generic text is displayed on if Type != box and != src,
another one could be displayed on Type == box.

Arial or Verdana or ...? 14, 15 or 16pt?  ;)  what's your "estimated
average browser setting" around?

No seriously, I'd like to think away from *displaying* these filenames.

Why not use a generic text telling users that they are up to download
multi-language plus extras DVDs providing either en or de ui language
and just name the links upon the buttons DVD Deutsch and DVD English ?
All other information could eventually be off the buttons.

@ Christian: is there a way to discriminate the DownloadsInstallType for
DVD isos by language, filename, whatever?

Cheers
Erich
