UrDiFoLinux, my final project, that stands for 'Urdu Distribution Formation Based on Linux' is the project in which a fully functioning distribution is made in which the interface is translated in URDU, for the ease of mass users of Pakistan, and also giving Pakistan a National Operating System in National Language.

The major goal of the Project was to make a standalone OS distribution, localized in Urdu Language. It was also the part of project to develop installer for Urdu Distribution, which had Urdu enabled, and it guides the user through installation process. The Installer behaves as the standard Linux installer behaves.
