Comment 12 for bug 1786344

I am most interested in the LiveUSB (iso image). This is the only way I
can interest my friends to try Ubuntu. I will try to install the 18.10
daily built probably over this weekend, but, again, the iso image is the
only marketing tool, as I can never induce anyone to try to do the actual
installation on their machine.

Previously I would prepare customized LiveUSBs & send them to those Ubuntu
wannabes. But because of spyware and liability concerns, this has become
impractical. Anyone who is interested in exploring Ubuntu will be shocked
to find out that they couldn't input Chinese from the LiveUSB. (Again,
many thanks to you, Gunnar, for timely fixing this serious problem in
18.04!)
