The only thing I haven't been able to figure out is how to 'page' through the various word choices from scim/pinyin from the keyboard so I don't have to grab the mouse with each word I enter if the word I want happens not to be on the first 'page' of choices. As for multi-language support at installation time...it never occurred to me that I would be interested in multi-language setup...I am an American ;-) This is a new thing for me and while I don't need to learn Chinese, it intrigues me (unless Red Hat would want to offer me a job in Beijing ;-). Copy/paste can only get me so far.
