I just burned the xfce-iso. As I understand the readme.html, the
Xfce-CD _can_ use the full CD set as a resource for the further
software-installation (like the regular CD 1) but is also able to act
as netinst-CD. It just depends from what's in the sources.list.
No, it cannot "act as" a netinst CD, or rather that expression really does
not make any sense. A full CD basically is a netinst CD + a significant
number of additional packages. A netinst contains only packages necessary
to install a base system; a full CD contains that + standard packages +
packages for various tasks.
You can indeed use the KDE/Xfce CDs together with the set, but to ensure
you have all packages available, you need the _whole_ set, including CD1!
There will be some overlap between the KDE/Xfce CDs and other CDs in the
set, but that overlap is spread across multiple other CDs from the set.
And thus it cannot replace CD1.
Or _should_ they just not be shipped with the 21-disk-set?
They can be shipped _with_ the while set, just not as an _alternative_ to
CD1.
