Hi, > The standard did not specify how to split the distribution and it did not > specify how the CDs should look. These are problems that need solving. That's IMHO not the purpose of this standard. It should be the task of debian-cd to place the packages on the CDs. APT should only find the packages on the CDs and install them. How they are optimised to fit on the CDs is debian-cd's part and has nothing to do with the Debian CD standard I think... cu gerhard
