How come you have a US English restore CD when you're in Norway? :confused:
I think all disks contain all languages, don't they?

When I went from OS 9 to OS X I started to install my OS with English language (isn't that the first thing you must choose when starting up a new Mac or boot up the first time after a clean install?). I used to have OS 9 installed in Norwegian, but I gathered I could use some help with the new *nix based OS, having not much experience with other OS's than Mac OS 7-9 and Windows 3-98.

So, at first it was just a way to easier be able to find help online, where everything is in English, and not having to "guess" what translates into what on my system (which often can be quite an adventure like on my girlfriends Macs, as she uses Norwegian language for OS X). Eventually I just came to be used and actually prefer to having my OS in English. And now I wouldn't even consider installing even the Norwegian version (if available) on any of the software I regularly use...

So, to finally answer your question properly (;)), I think the restore disk just uses the same language as the main system, which in my case is English... :)

And, then it makes all my screenshots much easier to understand for all you fellow MacRumorians, doesn't it...? :D

Yeah, I tried that by the space bar and by turning off extensions via the "advanced" tab in the system prefs. I think it's just not even getting that far, there's no gray screen or happy mac. Just this:

Is your classic folder identified as a classic startup disk in the Classic Preferences Pane?
