Hi Ingo,

   Language packages such as "@french-support" need to be entered into 
the "%packages" section of your kickstart config file.  Interested 
readers are directed to the 'Kickstart Options' section of the RHEL5 
manual (which will be largely applicable to Fedora 7:
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-5-manual/Installation_Guide-en-US/s1-kickstart2-options.html

   I note that the entry for 'langsupport' contradicts itself by first 
saying that it's required and then saying that it's deprecated!

  langsupport (required)

     The langsupport keyword is deprecated and its use will cause an
   error message to be printed to the screen and installation to halt.
   Instead of using the langsupport keyword, you should now list the
   support package groups for all languages you want supported in the
   %packages section of your kickstart file. For instance, adding support
   for French means you should add the following to %packages:

   @french-support
